Présentation de l'éditeur

America First has not been borne by the mad hands of modern-day racists. Oh no, our forebears were masters. The twentieth century is a guide-post of race hatred. And America has led the way. In The White Bridge, a cub reporter, Ginger Lee forges her own destiny in a man's world. Three years before, women couldn't vote. Daren't dream. But Ginger Lee does. But first she must run a gauntlet of misery. In the panorama of the rabbit hole, dark truths surface about America and its racist underbelly. And darker visions guide her beyond what it means to be a woman. To discover what it takes to be an avenging angel. A Cub Reporter for The Chicago Daily News, her pen will take us on a journey through the past century to catch a killer and in evil times.A cautionary tale for those of us who are a stone’s throw away from the bullies of the earth—those that would rip children from their mothers, put immigrants in shackles, and bring racism back, as a badge of honor. Hitler is always but a breath away, here in the land of the free, the home of the brave.
