From the Dust Jacket: "Fanny McCoy has always lived with fear and anger -- fear that her family will be hurt or killed by the marauding Hatfields, and anger that the men insist on harboring old hatreds and vowing revenge, while putting their loved ones in danger. Along the ragged ridges of the West Virginia-Kentucky line, the Hatfields and the McCoys have been feuding since Fanny was a child. And they operate outside the law, with mountain codes of their own making. The feud comes to a head in 1880 when young Johnse Hatfield of West Virginia runs off with Roseanna runs off with McCoy of Kentucky. The killings, abductions, raids, and heartbreak that intensified with this event go on, bitterly and senselessly, for years. Although Fanny is the sole voice of reason, she has no power to bring things to an end. And through it all, a young girl must learn to rise above the petty natures of her family and neighbors and find her own way out of the hatred.". First Printing of the First Edition.. Hard Cover.
