Ava's Man (book review)

Ava's Man (2001) by Rick Bragg. The "Man" in the title is Bragg's own grandfather Charlie, a hard-working family man and a moonshiner in the woods of Alabama and Georgia. The book tells an episodic but fascinating multigenerational tale, filled with family stories passed down through uncles, aunts and cousins. Grade: B+
