What did it take to write this riveting novel? In this episode, we dive into Rick Skwiot’s gripping new historical novel, The Bootlegger’s Bride—a haunting tale of vengeance, identity, and survival set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era St. Louis and post-WWII America. When two bodies surface through Long Lake’s frozen silence—one suicide, one murder—twelve-year-old A.J. Nowak is thrust into a decades-long mystery rooted in his family’s dark legacy.

Whether you're drawn to historical fiction, psychological drama, or tales of redemption, this episode peels back the layers of a Midwest gone by—where honor and heartbreak collide.
