   Well Written
   It’s hard to find a book that holds my attention. Easy going plot without too much stress. Nice departure for subject. Well woven storyline. Not as artisticly written as something like the Secret Life of Bees but in the same sort of world. I really enjoyed it.

   The ending is a surprise.
   The ending was a surprise although after thinking about the story it is the only logical outcome.

   Interesting
   This book was interesting but too much emphasis on an eating disorder. Somewhat difficult to hold attention on contents due to nonessential details.

   I didn’t want it to end
   Great story of struggles over unanswered questions. The violence of moonshine dealers in the mountains. A loving and caring nurse trying to help a young woman with an eating disorder. Families are torn apart due to alcohol. Great read!

   Well done. Once again Donna Everhart has written a book that is gripping right to the end. Using story and research, she takes us back to a moment in time and gives us in depth insight into a slice of history exposing the ins and outs of making and running moonshine.

   Totally involved with all the characters especially Jessie as she went thru her struggles with friends, family business, school and her self esteem. Great story line, however I found there was a lot of repetition of situations repeated over and over in the last 3/4 or so of the story. Picked up again at the end which redeemed the story to its beginning of good story and character.
