Publisher's Summary

In this novel, Burke brings his brilliant feel for time and place to a stunning story of Appalachia in the early 1960s. Here Perry Woodson Hatfield James, a young man torn between family honor and the lure of seedy watering holes, must somehow survive the tempestuous journey from boyhood to manhood and escape the dark and atavistic heritage of the Cumberland Mountains.

Wow!!! Hard to put down!!!

Another great novel by James Lee Burke with a real nitty gritty story that reflects the desperate lives in the coal mining towns.
