After the Shots Rang Out
Spanning nearly a century, this biography follows a feisty and determined Missouri woman whose life turned inside out following the tragic shooting death of her first husband, a moonshiner. Pregnant and desperate to hold her family together, she finds herself in a marriage of convenience.
Following the many changes in her family and life through the years of the Prohibition, Great Depression, World War II and the changing public mindset about alcohol during these time periods, it is truly a story of stoicism in the face of heartbreak and change.
Told in vignettes from oral interviews with surviving family members, with the support of period documents and a comprehensive bibliography, Maud's life is set against the rich backdrop of the time and places in which she lived.
