In this frightening novel about the future, a series of
catastrophic events not only cripples the world’s economy,
but also ushers in the return of slavery.
Traci and Bill Bianco were living the all-American dream,
until the world as they knew it came crashing down. 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. Once the economy takes a
nosedive, ordinary Americans must resort to the barter
system to get by. Food and shelter are exchanged for labor and initially it
seems as though it may work, until the unscrupulous begin to
take power and laws are changed. Though Traci and Bill
actually fare better than most, economically, they are
confronted with a new risk—interracial marriage is once
again deemed unlawful and anyone caught is subject to
arrest. Soon Traci and their four-year-old daughter are on
the run. Strange Fruit offers a post-cataclysmic world when
desperation reigns supreme and people resort to the
cruelties of the past to take control.
