About The Moonshine Women:
Every batch of the Strong family's moonshine has its own special flavor, thanks to the secret ingredients that matriarch Lidy Strong adds to the barrels of fermenting corn mash. That extra “something something” is what makes the Strong “shine” so prized—and allows the family to survive after crop prices plummeted in the wake of the Great War. Each of the Strong sisters is distinct. The eldest, Rebecca, finds a new home in the love she discovers after a near-devastating accident. Middle sister Elsie is kind, beautiful, and itching for a life more thrilling than the farm can offer. And Jace, the bold and wild-hearted youngest, is known far and wide as “Shine.” Their father, Hiram, has been drowning himself in grief and liquor ever since his wife died. When tragedy strikes, it falls to the Strong women to keep the still running, the family together, and hope burning on the horizon.
