“Blood Moon Over Bohemia, a historical novel set in the 1920s, written by New York Times Bestselling author Susan D. Mustafa and District Attorney Charles J. Ballay, is based on the true story of the forced removal of a diverse population of people who once lived and thrived alongside the Mississippi River in lower Plaquemines Parish in southeast Louisiana.
This saga, which began more than one hundred years ago, is still being adjudicated in courts today.” |
