FIREWATER

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the Rusk family has distilled whiskey for generations—not for fortune, but to preserve a way of life. As Prohibition tightens its grip and federal agents push deeper into the hills, Gideon Rusk must choose between protecting his family’s legacy and surviving a world that no longer respects it. Rich with Southern history, mountain traditions, faith, sacrifice, and unforgettable characters, Firewater is a sweeping historical novel about blood, honor, and the price of preserving a family name.
