Black men are turning up dead, a local photographer is selling the violence as souvenir postcards, and a suspicious explosion at Victor Monahan's cotton gin pulls Travis Nelson back to the family he left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt home, Travis finds his wife, Everly, holding together a house already haunted by grief, suspicion, desire, and survival after the death of their daughter, Carrie. But the Nelsons are not merely victims of the county's violence; they are a family fighting to control the story of who they are before the world turns them into evidence, entertainment, warning, or myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoosely inspired by the 1911 lynching of L. D. and Laura Nelson, la fille noire + the bad boy is part mystery, part fever dream, and part historical reckoning. Written as a formally ambitious ensemble play, it examines Black survival, family mythology, American spectacle, and who gets to control the story after violence has already been made public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Drew Hardaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798234117359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drew Hardaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.30d","brand":"Drew Hardaway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874764959999,"sku":"9798234117359","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/la-fille-noire-the-drew-hardaway-9798234117359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
