A Good White Woman Michael Massey

This is not your dad's 1800s novel on how the scourge of slavery stained our country. A book like few others, this pre-Civil War publication is far from a whips-and-chains documentary. A Good White Woman is a book about a family raising a black child alongside a white child as equals in the bondage-rich state of Georgia. Both nineteen years of age, Michael (white) is only his half-brother Blake's (black) elder by a month. Funded by their wealthy dad's gun manufacturing money, the boys set out to build a hotel to shame all others. Fueled by their love of beautiful women, the two manage to construct one of the top brothels the South had ever seen. The story takes a turn when the racist element of the city gets wind that Blake had become intimate with a white woman. Force to fend off masked bandits, this family of gun enthusiasts leaves a trail of bodies from Georgia to Connecticut.
