Farther Down the River pulls the curtain back on a part of my hometown's history that was talked about mostly in whispers as I grew up. The women of the Sugar Hill district, a red-light district were known up and down the eastern seaboard. This book doesn't just tell their story, but the story of a young man growing up in a time when so much of how you were viewed depended on your parentage. If your only parent was a Sugar Hill entertainer your life was sure to be difficult.So get comfortable and settle in for a delightful historical walk back in time, down the streets of small rural Kinston, North Carolina.
