Hang the Moon is a southern American family drama at its best! It's the story of young Sallie Kincaid, the daughter of Duke Kincaid, who runs a small town in Virginia. Sallie loves and adores her father, and, as a young girl, she tries very hard to win his love and admiration until one day, the unthinkable happens, and she is sent away to live with an Aunt. Through her many faulty family relationships, Sallie realizes she can only depend on herself. Sallie's strength and resilience through tough and challenging times kept me turning the pages to discover what would become of her. She is such a spunky and determined character that you cannot help but root for her. While this book does have some of the dysfunctional family characteristics of The Glass Castle, Jeanette Walls's best-selling book, it does have a very engaging story with some remarkable characters. If you loved The Glass Castle, you should get a copy of this book when it is released. Thanks to NetGalley and Simon, and Shuster Canada for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sallie Kincaid is a daughter who loves her father and inherits his legacy but it isn't all good. In fact most of it is terrible. After her mother dies, the Duke remarries and his new wife isn't interested in step-daughters. Sallie is sent away to live with her Aunt, and together they manage to protect one another. Later after the death of her step-mother Sallie is summoned home to support her brother Eddie.

Surrounded by a fascinating cast of characters, Sallie creates her own family and manages to take care of them the best she can. Set during prohibition when women weren't usually leaders, let alone rum runners, you have to cheer for Sallie as she uncovers family secrets and creates a legacy of her own.
