Book Talk with Ashton Lattimore
Dive into the world behind the pages as Ashton shares insights, stories, and answers your questions.
In this gripping, emotionally layered novel set in Prohibition-era Martha’s Vineyard, a young woman from a Black seafaring family plunges into the dangerous world of rum-running to save her home and uncover the truth about her father’s death. But as buried secrets rise to the surface and the temptations of the glittering underworld pull her in deeper, everything she’s fought to protect soon hangs in the balance: her heart, her family, and her place in a world that’s quick to condemn women who dare to want more.
