His grisly act was memorialized in a murder ballad, her aunt tells her, so it must be true. But the lessons of that revelationto be careful of men and desireare not just Graces to learn. Her familys tangled past is part of a dark legacy in which the lives of generations of women are affected by the violence immortalized in folk songs like Knoxville Girl and Pretty Polly reminding them always to know their placeor risk the wages of sin.

This inspired story of Appalachian folklore ( Publishers Weekly) will move and rouse you.
