Hang the moon : a novel
(Book)

"Most folk thought Sallie Kincaid was a nobody who'd amount to nothing. Sallie had other plans." ...Publisher.

"Young Sallie Kincaid is clever and quick; she's her father's courageous daughter and her mother's vulnerable lost child. Walls writes the people of the mountains of Virginia in complexities, tangle family bonds, and explosive romantic relationships with veracity, verve, and humor. Epic in scope, the novel is a thrill ride through Prohibition and change in the American South, where hucksters and opportunists, fallen women and upright moralists kept their secrets to the grave. The prose is excellent and so close to the bone you feel Sallie's heartbeat. Glorious." ...Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author --
