There was something captivating and marvelous about Shiner, a spinning narrative of personal growth and aging in a West Virginia community deeply rooted in the moonshine business. The female characters in Shiner were strong and brave, but ultimately a product of their male-dominant environment. The evolution of their thinking was both devastating and understandable, ultimately assimilating into the community they wrestled against for so long. The men in Shiner play important roles, but the book is truly a portrait of the three women and their experience growing up in this West Virginian community.

This took effort to finish. I had to restart it cause my mind kept wandering as I listened. No idea what the purpose of this story is, or what actually happened.
