The Line That Held Us by David Joy Book Summary

An accidental death, and the cover-up that follows, sparks a dark series of events that reverberates through the lives of four people who will never be the same again.

When Darl Moody went hunting after a monster buck, a kill that could make the difference between meat for the winter and an empty freezer, he never expected he'd accidentally shoot a man digging ginseng. Worse yet, he's killed a Brewer, a family notorious for vengeance and violence. 

With nowhere to turn, Darl calls on the help of the only man he knows will answer, his best friend, Calvin Hooper. But when Dwayne Brewer comes looking for his missing brother and stumbles onto a blood trail leading straight back to Darl and Calvin--and to Calvin's girlfriend, Angie--a nightmare of revenge rips apart their world. 

A story of friendship and family, The Line That Held Us is a tale balanced between destruction and redemption, where the only hope is to hold on tight, clenching those you love.  From a writer whose stories are "like a pull from a bottle of Appalachian moonshine: smooth and elegant with a punch in the gut that lingers a while after you're done" (Garden & Gun), Joy's book is another masterwork of Southern noir.

Love David Joy. David Joy has a way of making you understand and connect with the most unloving of characters. This book along with his others is absolutely fantastic and a MUST read.

Southern noir at its best. Joy is a gifted writer who has the ability to really make you connect with and feel for his characters. You find yourself questioning who the bad guy truly is in this book. What it really boils down to is love and loyalty on both sides of the conflict. Great book, great writer.

Authentic. Any works of art in which the details make it evident that the artist has lived in the culture they write about makes for an unmatched experience. Living the life as opposed to researching it is unmistakable in writing. From Evan Felker mentioning wrapping his hands around a Belgian made Browning to David Joy describing a field strip of a 1911, authenticity shining through art about nature and outdoor activities gives me a feeling I can’t find elsewhere. Read this book.
