Never heard of the book, Amy. But, I'll check it out. Thanks. Marly

Good. Can't wait to hear what you think about it. Marly

It's on my list, too. The story sounds interesting to me, but I'm a real baby when it comes to on-screen violence so I think I might enjoy the book more than the film.
OK gals. I got the book and sat down and read the whole dang thing. I couldn't put it down. I just had to know what happened next. It is kind of strange because it goes between the time it happened and when there was a trial some years later. Wild stuff. Men, alchol, and money. Bad combo. Some of the paybacks are really nasty.
My Mom asked me if I liked the book. I don't really know what to say. But I had to know what happened next. It does fit the time frame.
If you have read it or seen the movie, what do you think?
Well, it truly depicts that time and era. It does contain a bit of nudity and of course violence etc. It was a tough time for families to simply earn a paycheck. I can't imagine putting kids through those times and risking their lives for such a thing either. It's truly about how people in one community support each other when they are faced with a threat on their community. Despite their business.
