Set in the Appalachian Mountains, we meet Damon Fields, a Melungeon, on his first day of life. Born in a trailer to an dead father and a drug addict mother, the future is not bright. Damon is literal trailer trash.
Having not heard of this region or Melungeons and only having a vague idea of 'hillbillies', I learnt so much reading this. I love a book that takes me into a culture I know very little about and educates me.
