1/4 Cloth; Paper Boards. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. This is a gripping story of two brothers struggling against each other and the confines of their 1920's Appalachian Mountain world. The Powell brothers are as different as can be. One is an innocent, shy young man with big dreams and no idea what to do about them. The other is older and wilder - and embittered by the death of his father, years of fighting his mother, and his jealousy of his brother, he takes to moonshine and gambling, and turns his anger on his brother. Through it all their mother tries to steer them right, but when the younger brother discovers his purpose in life, a community threatens to tear itself apart and his family is forever changed. Beautiful copy.
