Strange fruit (First Strebor Books trade paperback edition)

Years after a black man is elected President of the United States and the Empire State Building is toppled by an explosion, the nation is in a state of upheaval.

But it's Hurricane Molly in 2018 and the stock market crash of 2020 that seals the country's fate to the barter system to get by.

Though Traci and Bill actually fare better than most economically, they are confronted with new risk: interracial marriage is once again deemed unlawful and anyone caught is subject to arrest.

Soon the Biancas and their four-year-old are on the run.
