Hang the Moon: A Novel
by Jeannette Walls
STRONG WOMAN IN MALE DOMINATED TIMES (6/30/2023)
Sallie Kincaid is a modern woman born before her time.
She thought her dad hung the moon, but finally discovered that he was flawed like all humans, perhaps more than others.
To me, it was like the story of the Hatfields and McCoys...two feuding families over land, bragging rights, murder, and unlawful moonshine...interspersed with true accounts of Walls's life.
And Sallie? She emerges from the pages as her father's daughter, strong and resilient with a mind of her own.
I enjoyed it very much as I do all of her other books.
