Book
The Paragon Hotel : a novel / Lyndsay Faye.
The year is 1921, and "Nobody" Alice James is on a cross-country train, carrying a bullet wound and fleeing for her life following an illicit drug and liquor deal gone horribly wrong. She has her sights set on Oregon. Her unlikely sanctuary turns out to be the only all-black hotel, and its lodgers seem unduly terrified of a white woman on the premises. But only Alice, along with her new "family" of Paragon residents, are willing to search for a missing mulatto child who has mysteriously vanished into the Oregon woods.
