Helpful Score: 3

Finished reading this one last night - a very powerful story about a young girl's struggles growing up in rural Kentucky during the 1930s and 1940s. At first, the story seems to be a straight forward narrative about rural life in Kentucky including the hardships of surviving during the depression, issues regarding race and color, and family problems. But then the story evolves into a kind of mystery/thriller involving some very wicked people. I don't want to give away too much but this one kept me turning the pages right up to the surprising climax. I would give this one a strong recommendation.
