Hang the Moon

The Glass Castle #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeannette Walls is back with a gripping new book about a rebellious young lady in Prohibition-era Virginia.

Sallie Kincaid was seen by most as an unknown who would never amount to anything. Sallie had other ideas.

Sallie Kincaid is the charming daughter of Duke Kincaid, the largest guy in a tiny town. Sallie, who was raised in a comfortable and privileged environment at the start of the 20th century, has little memories of her mother, who passed away after a furious quarrel with the Duke. When she is just eight years old, the Duke has already remarried and given birth to a boy named Eddie. Eddie is the shy and intelligent son of his mother, and Sallie is the quick-witted and cunning daughter of her father. After an accident caused by Sallie's daring coaching to help Eddie become more like his father, Sallie is expelled.

She returns nine years later, ready to take back her rightful role in the family. Sallie discovers that things are much more difficult than she had anticipated, and she plunges into a violent and unruly environment. Sallie faces the scandals and secrets that lurk underneath the Big House, negotiates the rivalries within the family and the community, and ultimately emerges as a fearless, if not reckless, bootlegger.

Sallie Kincaid is a strong, feisty, broken, and fearful young lady who defies control. You will fall in love with her.
