Bootlegger Blues

By Drew Hayden Taylor

A comedy of errors: Martha, a teetotalling pillar of the church, is stuck with 143 cases of beer after a church fundraiser fails. She decides to bootleg the beer to the horror of her son who is a special constable on the reserve where they live. He is smitten with his "cousin". Martha's daughter is sorting out relationship difficulties caught between an attractive pow-wow dancer and her conservative common law husband.
