About This Book
Pullman by Debra Lee
Booze, sex, and jazz are prevalent in the New Orleans of the Roaring Twenties. One might expect to find this in the seedier sides of the city, but naï ve Pullman Porter Eugene Ste. Cherie encounters it away from the tracks. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. Eugene deboards the train to assist a white passenger and is rewarded by being asked to work in one of the luxurious lakefront casinos near Spanish Fort during his off time. Though prohibition is in effect, he discovers that alcohol flows like the waters in the many canals running between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. Eugene follows the path back into the city along the lavish boulevards and avenues as he continues to tend bar at the city’ s many social events. His wife, Eartha, keeps her eyes on the money he makes tending bar, overlooking the manipulative secrets and lies surrounding him.Customer Reviews
