Not a story of Dogtown skatboarding..... :P

Set on Cape Ann in the early eighteen hundreds, The Last Days of Dogtown is peopled with characters who are often forgotten by history: widows, orphans, spinsters, scoundrels, whores, free Africans, and "witches." Among these characters are Black Ruth, an African woman who dresses as a man and work as a stone mason; Mrs. Stanley, an imperious madam whose grandson, Sammy, comes of age amid the sights and sounds of a rural brothel; and Oliver Younger, who overcomes a miserable childhood to forge a starkly different life of his own. At the center of it all is Judy Rhines, a fiercely independent soul whose taboo love for a former slave is one of the most moving stories in this novel.
