The fascinating glimpse into the process of distilling bourbon --- and the effect of the Prohibition on Kentucky and its bourbon families --- adds another layer to the story . . .' -- RT Book Reviews, 3 stars“Distinguished by complex ideas and a foreboding tone, Markert’s (A White Wind Blew) enthralling novel captures a dark time and a people desperate for hope.” -- Library Journal“Folksy charm, an undercurrent of menace, and an aura of hope permeate this ultimately inspirational tale.” -- BookList About the Author James Markert lives with his wife and two children in Louisville, Kentucky.
