Books That Make You Fall Under the Spell of a Prohibition-era Moonshiner

Travel back to the 1920s alongside a troubled boy named Rufus. Watch him leave his family—and a secret—behind, only to find what he hopes is a new home with a new family, the O’Haras. Unfortunately, things don’t go too well for Rufus in Whiskey and Old Stogies, a twisting, turning historical literary fiction novel filled with loss, love, endurance and grit.

The author, Lisa Angle, spent the nineties writing press releases and feature articles. In the new millennium, she heeded the call of the outdoors and volunteered in the Channel Islands Naturalist Corps.

In addition, she produced the documentary Ablitt House Journey, and co-produced Thirty Years of Literary Excellence, about the history of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference.
