Description:	Meet the Kincaids ... a family to be reckoned with in Claiborne County, West Virginia. It is the prohibition era and the Kincaids are highly successful bootleggers, led by their patriarch, the Duke. But with his untimely demise, his daughter Sallie comes into her own, navigating feuding families, lawlessness and complex moral dilemmas, all while keeping the moonshine flowing. With a nod to the history of the Tudor dynasty, this is an entertaining story with a feisty, no-nonsense protagonist claiming her place in the changing American South.

A bit too tidy in the end - not believable. Interesting time period piece.

Some loved the book - particularly having a strong female character. Others would have liked fewer themes and more development.

A rollicking read of a businesswoman ahead of the times. Great characters and an easy read.

We all enjoyed this book. Well-written. A refreshing change of writing style. A great storyline with some underlying sobering truths - thoughtful, while lighthearted.
