Jeannette writes with beauty, truth and humor about the things that matter. She writes women that lead us on the path to redemption and change us all for the better. She captures worlds that are often lost and the souls that are lost within them-fractured families, handsome beaus, wild hucksters, and more, all of them real and unforgettable. The wonder of this grand novel is Jeannette Walls’ singular and authentic style. As a woman who fought for her place in the dangerous family enterprise of moonshine, many obstacles are placed in Sallie’s path, but she is determined to redeem her family name, shake it loose from scandals, and embrace her legacy on her own terms. She also insists on a life of purpose, to claim her life as surely as her father-Duke Kincaid, a local legend-who built the formidable family moonshine business. Sallie wants the things we all want: to love and be loved. She is the center of Hang the Moon, a Prohibition-Era saga set in the lush mountains of Virginia, and the latest masterwork from great American storyteller Jeannette Walls. Get ready for Sallie Kincaid, a young woman so bold and brave, so agile and quick, she can outrun her own family secrets and circle back around years later to divulge them and set things right.
