The Sugar Shack
The first “Prestige” release from
Better Than the Last
In 194I, when the government seizes their land to expand a military base for the coming war in Europe, sixteen-year-old Lorna Sampson, a whiskey-distilling outlaw daughter, ignites a bold, yet futile town uprising.
Based on actual events that took place in Sterlingville, NY, and the surrounding towns. Hundreds of families were displaced, friends and family separated by the boot of a government doing its best to protect the country. THE SUGAR SHACK is a coming-of-age, slice-of-life historical fiction following Lorna as she learns the whiskey-making trade from her outlaw father, and eventually sparks a revolution of her own.
