I picked up this book from the library on a whim. Jim Thorpe, PA is a town in the Pocono Mountains that I've visited several times and I remembered hearing a story on NPR years ago about the sad and controversial circumstances surrounding his burial in the town (he actually had no association with that town during his life). I havent been able to stop reading since I started!

So this is completely a personal preference, but I'm tired of reading books that describe in detail a vulnerable young girl being sexually coerced, abused or assaulted. So that's red flag number one for me. If this book continues to make the main character's relationship to this pedophile bootlegger the main focus of the narrative I'm probably going to quit reading it.

Reading this again because I just love it so much...
