Hauntingly Beautiful

Set in 1960's North Carolina. Jessie Sasser's family has a long legacy of making and running moonshine on Shine Mountain. Seeing her mother die a horrific death when she was very young has Jessie dead set against the family business. It leaves her with many questions about her mother and a eating disorder. Running shine isn't easy, even with Sally Sue a rocket of a car. Mayhem,rivalry and the revenuers takes it's toll on this family leaving Jessie with a choice to make about her family legacy. I was hooked by the first page and an ending I never saw coming. Everhart is a gifted writer that captures the magic and the madness of the gritty south with hauntingly beautiful stories that linger. This is the book all the book clubs will be talking about in 2020. I highly recommend. Dawnny-BookGypsy Novels N Latte Book Club Hudson Valley
