This story about the people of the mountains of Virginia paints a picture of entwined family bonds, romantic relationships and plenty of adventure during the times of Prohibition.
Sallie Kincaid is the daughter of the most powerful man in their small town. When she was young, her mother died during a violent fight with her father and she was sent to live with her aunt.
She returns to the familial home when she is 17 and she is ready to reclaim her place.
She gets more than she bargains for when her father dies and she is forced to the head of this powerful family. Sallie must learn to navigate at the helm in a male dominated era.
This is an exciting read while curled up in front of the fireplace.
