Prolific Author Michelle Janine Robinson Presents Strange Fruit

DURHAM, N.C. - June 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Prolific author Michelle Janine Robinsons is proud to announce the official publication of Strange Fruit, a disturbing glimpse into a bleak future governed by a dark return to inhumane cruelty.

About The Book

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 - that is, 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 violating the reinstated law is subject to arrest. Soon, Traci and their four-year-old daughter are on the run.

Strange Fruit offers a glimpse into a post-cataclysmic world when desperation reigns supreme and people resort to the cruelties of the past to take control.
