Book excerpt: Bennie J. Reynolds is the richest man in Sumpter County, Alabama, due to a perfect blend of good moonshine and unfailing business sense. Now gone legitimate--mostly--he works to create a fairy-tale existence for his family. His one regret is not having had ten children; yet, his chief worry is his children, Winn and Wright, and niece Hanna, who seem hell-bent on being teenagers. It is the summer of 1970, and they romp through the days as if each might be the last: Wright has a nagging fear of going off to college, Hanna is dealing with pregnancy and a death fixation, and Winn is seeking to make some sense of four years of college-hopping. Half a generation removed from a sharecropper's cabin, the Reynolds are a rich blend of Southern gentility and backwoods red neck--From Library Journal.
