WOW, I loved this book. It chronicles the story of a sassy young woman and her family living as "the poorest of the poor" in the Kentucky mountains. It's got moonshine and coal mining and you learn a lot about the lives of the "hillbillies" in this book. I loved the vernacular, the characters, and the story. Really great!
