Named a LibraryReads Pick for March 2023 and a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by Oprah Daily, Elle, and LitHub, this riveting novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle tells the story of an indomitable young woman in Prohibition-era Virginia. Most folks dismissed Sallie Kincaid as a nobody destined for nothing, but she had other plans. As the daughter of the charismatic Duke Kincaid, Sallie was born into a life of comfort, though she has little memory of her mother, who died in a violent clash with the Duke. By age eight, Sallie finds herself overshadowed by her timid half-brother, Eddie, born after the Duke's remarriage. When Sallie's attempts to toughen Eddie lead to an accident, she is cast out. After nine years, Sallie returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family, only to find the situation far more complex than she anticipated. She navigates a world filled with conflict and lawlessness, confronting the secrets and scandals lurking in the shadows of the Big House. As she grapples with family dynamics and town factions, Sallie emerges as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger. Readers will be captivated by her journey, as she transforms from a terrified, damaged young woman into a fearless force who refuses to be contained.
