SynopsisGreenville County, South Carolina, a wild, lush place, is home to the Boatwright family—rough-hewn men who drink hard and shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who marry young and age all too quickly. At the heart of this astonishing novel is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a South Carolina bastard with an annotated birth certificate to tell the tale. Observing everything with the mercilessly keen eye of a child, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that will test the loyalty of her mother, Anney. Her stepfather, Daddy Glen, calls Bone "cold as death, mean as a snake, and twice as twisty," yet Anney needs Glen. At first gentle with Bone, Daddy Glen becomes steadily colder and more furious—until their final, harrowing encounter, from which there can be no turning back.

Great book
Great book with compelling story of a young girl thrown into situations out of her control with a young mother confused about her own life and unable to protect her child from the abuse that was common for the times. Wonderful to see that she recovered at the short age of 13 and would have loved to have read about her adult life and how her touch childhood affected her future.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
