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.

  • Compelling and unforgettable.

    Dorothy Allison will make you laugh and cry in a way you never have before. This is not only a story about family strengths and weaknesses but also about losing faith in humanity. You literally want to reach inside and put the characters to a place where they belong. The ending is heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. Dorothy Allison is on the top of my favorite authors list.

  • Fitting

    Because it's a true story. It is about a person's life. But book is banned in schools and libraries for having the content of a little girls life.

  • Just started reading the book. Keeps my attention, so I don't want to put down.

    Definitely tells about the Old South's history.
