The Moonshine Women - Michelle Collins Anderson

Descriere The Moonshine Women - Michelle Collins Anderson

In the Prohibition era Missouri Ozarks, three sisters take over their father's moonshine business in an evocative story of reinvention, sisterhood, and the alchemy of love for readers of Jeannette Walls, Fannie Flagg, Sue Monk Kidd, and Donna Everhart. \nEvery batch of Strong moonshine has its own special flavor, thanks to the secret ingredients that matriarch Lidy Strong adds to the barrels of fermenting corn mash. Whether a bucketful of golden peaches, a ripe melon or juicy, jewel-toned berries, that extra something something is what makes the Strong shine so prized--and allows the family to survive after crop prices plummeted in the wake of the Great War. \n \nEach of the Strong sisters, too, is distinct. Stoic, steadfast Rebecca would rather be with her beloved farm animals or off hunting in the woods than socializing. Middle sister Elsie is kindhearted, beautiful--and itching for a life more thrilling than the farm can offer. Jace, the youngest, is known far and wide as Shine, a name that suits her fiery personality and flaming red hair as much as her innate skill with a still. \n \nTheir father, Hiram, has been drowning himself in grief and liquor ever since his wife died. But the moonshine business is unforgiving, especially with Prohibition agents turning up in every creek and holler. When tragedy strikes, it falls to the Strong women to keep the still running, the family together, and hope burning on the horizon. \n \nFrom the Ozark mountains edged in oak and pine, to the outlaw paradise of Hot Springs, Arkansas--where gangsters like Al Capone line the bar at the Southern Club--the sisters' quests for vengeance, healing, and love will drive them forward, in search of a future as transformative and powerful as the purest Strong moonshine.\n
