The Line That Held Us by David Joy takes place in the NC mountains. “Darl Moody is hunting and accidentally kills a man. A Brewer - part of a family with a violent reputation. He asks his best friend, Calvin, to help him bury the body. When Dwayne Brewer comes looking for his missing brother, the blood trail leads straight to Darl and Calvin. And a nightmare of revenge rips apart their world...” My wife’s family is from the NC mountains. The photo in the background is her great-grandmother’s house. I could see the people and places as Joy described them. Dwayne Brewer is a scary bad guy (if you even consider him a bad guy for wanting people to pay for taking his only family) Dwayne is not afraid of any consequences and he’s a large man. Book asks the question “How far would you go to protect your family? What would you do?” Not the ending I expected. Good story from Joy. #thelinethatheldus #davidjoy #ncmountains #bookofthemonth #bookstagram #bookshelf #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #novel #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #bradslibrary #fiction #appalachiannoir https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMe6xuFKHM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vmemji4ru5pg
