Thank you Dart Frogg Co and Scribner Books for this gifted copy.

Yesterday was a snow day for us, so while Mother Nature was dumping 8 inches on us I was able to finish two books. I’m hoping the roads are good in a few hours so I can head to work, and that the next round of snow doesn’t arrive at all.

Today I’m starting the already much loved 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 with @thrillofthepage and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s been ages since we’ve had a buddy read together and I’ve missed our discussions

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Sallie Kincaid is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town, the charismatic Duke Kincaid. Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of comfort and privilege, Sallie remembers little about her mother who died in a violent argument with the Duke. By the time she is just eight years old, the Duke has remarried and had a son, Eddie. While Sallie is her father’s daughter, sharp-witted and resourceful, Eddie is his mother’s son, timid and cerebral. When Sallie tries to teach young Eddie to be more like their father, her daredevil coaching leads to an accident, and Sallie is cast out.

Nine years later, she returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family. That’s a lot more complicated than Sallie expected, and she enters a world of conflict and lawlessness. Sallie confronts the secrets and scandals that hide in the shadows of the Big House, navigates the factions in the family and town, and finally comes into her own as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger.
