Written by Jeannette Walls, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle, Hang the Moon is a sweeping historical novel set in rural Virginia during the Prohibition era. Sallie Kincaid grows up as the outspoken, resourceful daughter of the charismatic and influential Duke Kincaid, the most powerful man in Claiborne County. After a childhood tragedy forces her from the family home, Sallie spends years away before returning, determined to reclaim her place in a family fractured by betrayal, ambition, and long-buried secrets. As Prohibition transforms the region into a battleground for bootleggers, rival families, and political corruption, Sallie unexpectedly rises to become the legendary "Queen of the Kincaid Rumrunners." Navigating dangerous alliances, forbidden love, and violent feuds, she must decide what kind of legacy she wants to build while challenging the expectations placed on women in the early twentieth century. Rich in historical detail and driven by an unforgettable heroine, the novel explores power, family loyalty, justice, and resilience.
