"Moonshiner Goes West offers readers a chance to share in the experiences of a boy born in the early 1920s, in the back hills of Virginia, whose parents were moonshiners. Starting at an early age, he experiences trials, heartache and death, including the loss of his father. He is forced to grow up fast and struggles to take care of his family. Despite the challenges, he has hope, determination and the belief that he is meant to have a better life. As a young man, he hobos on the rails to Idaho, spends time in the penitentiary and serves in the army in World War II--all of which help him see and experience more of the world. He searches for meaning in life and finds that God truly exists. This is a story of triumphs amid struggle and poverty. For readers who hunger for something more, this book captures the yearning to live a better life. This is an eye-opening, deeply affecting story of a brave young man searching for meaning in a world filled with tragedies and contradictions. Amazing, inspiring and heartwarming, it shows how a young man with faith and inspiration tackles the crises he faces." [Publisher's abstract]
