Saddened by the death of Bess, Rep leaves Shoal Creek and returns to the road. So begins his struggle to deal with demons in his mind and regain hope. A pregnant Lila is left alone at Shoal Creek. With her daddy and brother dead, she struggles to keep the farm afloat and prays that Rep will return. Across the Chattahoochee in River Bluff, the Hobb family, led by Star, the oldest wayward daughter, seek retribution. Their target is the whiskey runners that began the violence that led to the deaths of her brothers. Thus, begins the second chapter of the Shoal Creek Saga. It takes place in the whiskey stills in Georgia, in a small cotton mill river town in Alabama and in the strip joints downriver in Phoenix City.

The Shoal Creek characters are really well developed. The action is awesome and the storyline moves at a fast pace. Can't wait to read the next installment.
