In Prohibition-era Virginia, young Sallie Kincaid idolizes her tough-as-nails father, one of the wealthiest men in the area. However, when her father's second wife sends her away, she begins to question the pedestal she placed him on throughout her childhood. Nearly a decade later, Sallie's back in her hometown, and she has to once again prove herself to her father—but this time, she's stronger, and proves to be a fierce competitor to her family. A story of familial struggles and strength, and a young woman finding her power and meaning, this gripping novel is immersive from beginning to end. (HH)
