Listened to this on audio, read by the author. I have enjoyed Jeannette Walls' memoir books in the past, and also enjoyed this new fictional tale set in the mountains of Virginia during Prohibition. Loved the main character of Sally, with her fierce yet tender ways and her expansion of the Kincaid name to include all branches.
