and NPR's All Things Considered. "A thunderclap of originality,
here is a fresh voice and fresh take on one of the oldest stories
we tell about ourselves as Americans and Westerners. It's riveting
in all the right ways -- a damn good read that stayed with me long
after closing the covers." - Timothy Egan, New York Times
bestselling author of The Worst Hard Time From a blazing new voice
in fiction, a gritty and lyrical American epic about a young woman
who disguises herself as a boy and heads west In the spring of
1885, seventeen-year-old Jessilyn Harney finds herself orphaned and
alone on her family's homestead. Desperate to fend off starvation
and predatory neighbors, she cuts off her hair, binds her chest,
saddles her beloved mare, and sets off across the mountains to find
her outlaw brother Noah and bring him home. A talented sharpshooter
herself, Jess's quest lands her in the employ of the territory's
violent, capricious Governor, whose militia is also hunting
Noah--dead or alive. Wrestling with her brother's outlaw identity,
and haunted by questions about her own, Jess must outmaneuver those
who underestimate her, ultimately rising to become a hero in her
own right. Told in Jess's wholly original and unforgettable voice,
Whiskey When We're Dry is a stunning achievement, an epic as
expansive as America itself--and a reckoning with the myths that
are entwined with our history.
