      About This Book

      16-year-old Jessie Watersmith was raised in the backwoods of Alabama by his family of moonshing poachers. Rejecting his fathers violence and racism, Jessie investigates his mothers death and comes ever closer to the conclusion that his father, Twaint, killed her. Twaints final crime convinces Jessie that never in this life can he escape his fathers reach. He climbs the red oak with a stolen .22, and stretches himself along the limb above the trail to wait."Wallin's story leap[s] from the mouths of his characters in an unusual show of craft. His ear for the Southern dialect is as sharp as anyone writing today. Chattanooga Times"A well-written, sensitive novel." Voya
