Description:
Johnnie Wise was just fifteen years old when her mother sold her
virginity to an unscrupulous white insurance man named Earl Shamus.
Stunningly beautiful, with long, naturally-wacy black hair, she
possessed the voluptuous body of a thirty-year-old woman. Her skin was
the color of brown sugar. Johnnie had heard about Earl Shamus and his
escapades among the poor black women in New Orleans. But what she
didn't know was that Shamus had quietly made several of his girls in
their neighborhood, his reluctant concubines when their youthful bodies
ripened - she was next.
Enter 1950's New Orleans, a world of betrayal, envy, lust and murder,
where everyone has ulterior motives. Take a peek at Johnnie Wise, a
15-year-old girl, being pursued by ruthless crime boss, Napoleon
Bentlye, who will stop at nothing to have this young beauty. Little Black Girl Lost
will shock you right up to the very end with its revealing truths.
