This book was wild. It follows the life of Sallie Kincaid and her life growing up in a powerful family in a rural mountain town in the 1920s. Sallie is not like normal girls of this time, she wants to do the dirty work, drive fast cars and carry a gun. With the death of family members you go through the politics of a powerful family changing command and the chaos that ensues. I was not immediately drawn in to this book, but by the end I could not wait to see what was going to happen next.
