But now, after running away to Baton Rouge and briefly knowing a different kind of life, she finds herself with nowhere to go but back home. And she knows there will be a price to pay with her father. Matilda, daughter of a sharecropper, is from the other side of the Trace. Doing what she can to protect her family from the whims and demands of some particularly callous locals is an ongoing struggle. She forms a plan to go north, to pack up the secrets she's holding about her life in the South and hang them on the line for all to see. As the two girls are drawn deeper into a dangerous world of bootleggers and moral corruption, they must come to terms with the complexities of their tenuous bond and a hidden past that links them in ways that could cost them their lives"--cProvided by publisher  aBPL: David Winn Bishop and Isabel MacPherson Bishop Memorial Fund. 7aAlcohol traffickingxFiction.2sears 0aNatchez TracevFiction 0aMississippivFiction 7aHistorical fiction.2gsafd 7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft08iOnline version:aMustian, Kelly.tGirls in the stilt housedNaperville, Illinois : Sourcebooks Landmark, [2021]z9781728217727w(DLC)  2020047358
