Slowed by a wooden leg and haunted by memories of the Korean War, Rory runs bootleg whiskey for a powerful mountain clan in a retro-fitted '40 Ford coupe. Between deliveries to roadhouses, brothels, and private clients, he lives with his formidable grandmother, evades federal agents, and stokes the wrath of a rival runner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the mill town at the foot of the mountains-a hotbed of violence, moonshine, and the burgeoning sport of stock-car racing-Rory is bewitched by the mysterious daughter of a snake-handling preacher. His grandmother, Maybelline \"Granny May\" Docherty, opposes this match for her own reasons, believing that \"some things are best left buried.\" A folk healer whose powers are rumored to rival those of a wood witch, she concocts potions and cures for the people of the mountains while harboring an explosive secret about Rory's mother-the truth behind her long confinement in a mental hospital, during which time she has not spoken one word. When Rory's life is threatened, Granny must decide whether to reveal what she knows … or protect her only grandson from the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith gritty and atmospheric prose, Taylor Brown brings to life a perilous mountain and the family who rules it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49294288585008,"sku":"BDcoz5","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49294288781616,"sku":"ZEcoz5","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49294288978224,"sku":"ZMcoz5","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/coz5-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775850220","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-coz5","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
