Book: Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls

Intriguing novel 'Hang the Moon' by Jeannette Walls. A must-read. Gently used - in excellent condition! The U.S. South is not particularly safe for women. According to a recent Newsweek article, Louisiana has one of the highest rates of men murdering women. Arkansas and West Virginia have among the highest incidences of domestic violence. And, in a review published by the Violence Policy Center, South Carolina consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous states for women. Threats against women, however, are not new, nor are they confined to the states that make a think tank top-ten list. They are entrenched. In Jeannette Walls’ dazzling novel Hang the Moon, for instance, post-Civil War Virginia is anything but kind to women, especially women like Sallie Kincaid, the novel’s narrator.
