Maybelline Docherty, "Granny May," is a folk healer with a dark
past. She concocts potions and cures for the people of the
mountains - her powers rumoured to rival those of a wood witch -
while watching over her grandson, Rory Docherty, who has returned
from the Korean War with a wooden leg and nightmares of the Battle
of Chosin Reservoir. Rory runs bootleg whiskey in a high-powered
car to roadhouses, brothels, and private clients in the mill town
at the foot of the mountains - a hotbed of violence, moonshine, and
the burgeoning sport of stock-car racing. Granny May must help her
grandson battle rival runners and federal revenue agents,
snake-handling pastors, and the mystery of his own haunted past:
namely, the real story behind his mother's long confinement in a
mental hospital, during which she has remained completely silent.
With gritty and atmospheric prose, Taylor Brown brings to life a
perilous mountain and the family who rules it, tying together past
and present in one captivating narrative.
