Sinopsis

Billy May Platte is a half Irish, half Cherokee Appalachian woman who learned the hard way that 1940s West Virginia was no place to be different.As Billy May explains, &ldquo,We was sheltered in them hills.á We didn&rsquo,t know much of nothin&rsquo, about life outside of them mountains.á I did not know the word lesbian, to us, gay meant havin&rsquo, fun and queer meant somethin&rsquo, strange.&rdquo,In 1945, when Billy May was fourteen years old and orphaned, three local boys witnessed an incident in which Billy May&rsquo,s sexuality was called into question. Determined to teach her a lesson she would never forget, they orchestrated a brutal attack that changed the dynamics of the tiny coal mining village of Cedar Hollow, West Virginia forever.Global Ebook Gold Medal Winner in 2013, a finalist for the University of North Carolina-Wilmington&rsquo,s Synergy Program in 2013, and voted Sapphic Readers Book Club Book of the Year in 2011 (under a different imprint), Appalachian Justice is a work of southern fiction that delves into social issues such as poverty, domestic violence, misogyny, and sexual orientation. Ultimately, however, Appalachian Justice delivers a message of hope.
