Rating: Summary: From a small lakeside town in Georgia Review: Kathleen Day has transformed the presence of bootlegging into real terms that capture not only the factual history, but the impact such a living has on family and family values. She succeeds in taking the reader through very intimate and detailed images of life in a small mountain town and lifes changes, through a time many of us cannot begin to understand! There is an interest for readers young and old. The character set is quite diverse and interesting to follow. The story has numerous angles that are nicely branched together. Scores of unpredictable events keep this one moving quickly. Kudos to the author -- this was a one-sitting read on New Year's Day.
Rating: Summary: Mist on the Mountain Review Review: The book is excellent. It brings back memories of the old movie Thunder Road. It is an exceptional account of a family that is in the moonshine business. I started reading and couldn't put it down. It's one of the few books I wouldn't mind my children reading so that they would have a better understanding of a former way of life.
