Description
Lizzie Fox is the story about a courageous and determined young woman, who grew up in foster care. She has suffered terrible injustice in her life and so hates it when she encounters it. In the small South Texas town of Seclusion, that injustice takes the form of racial and economic injustice violently controlled and policed by the county’s rich and powerful, including the local sheriff, the wealthy oil barons and the hierarchy within the church. To make ends meet, Lizzie takes a job at a weekly newspaper.
Following the mysterious and unsolved death of a young Black girl named Pearl, she sets out on a quest to unravel the cover up which gives her an outlet for her anger and a friend and mentor in the newspaper’s owner, Bud Harkins. This brings her into a friendship with Preston Lott, a gifted football player and cousin of Pearl. Their later romance tests the boundaries of interracial relationships in 1960. Her search for justice eventually takes her into the bowels of Nuevo Laredo’s infamous “Boys Town,” where she barely escapes with her life and the sordid truth that Seclusion has kept hidden for years.
