The story takes place in the 1950's, Rory, the main character, returns home from the Korean Ware with a wooden leg and few job opportunities. Rory ends up running liquor for the local bootlegger. In the 1930's the government created the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) and flooded acres of land depriving thousands of people their homesteads. This is the backdrop for the book.
I just felt that the characters were too stereotypical. There is a rich history of Appalachia that I really didn't get a feel for in this book.
