The Autrys believe the meek don't inherit.

Feral mean and nail hard, they pass their legacy down through Prohibition's bedlam, the Great Depression's hunger, and the Dust Bowl's choking Dirty Thirties.

In 1898, Solomon is forgetting. Losing pieces of himself. His mind. His memory. His temper. What begins in the Arkansas hills with silence and small cruelties erupts in fire and blood, sending his wife, Dora, running for her life with their infant in her arms.

From the wreckage of that loss, the Autrys close ranks, brace up, and move on with backbone, but the stain of violence and insanity hovers, whispering. Dogged by rumor, enraged by slight, each generation lashes out, adding hurt to their heritage.

Those Autrys, the neighbors say, they're hot-tempered, fast to make a fist.
Bunch of cutthroats.

Perfect for readers of stark, character-driven historical fiction grounded in truth, and for fans of Larry Brown, Kent Haruf, and Matt Bondurant.
