The Ballad of Laurel Springs by Janet Beard

A provocative novel set in eastern Tennessee that “explores the legacies—of passion and violence, music and faith—that haunt one family across the generations"

This was a Goodreads giveaway win. The stories were haunting and the idea to marry them with old Appalachian folk songs was an interesting concept. I even looked a few up to get a better idea of what they were like. I wasn't really sure what I thought of the book until the end....then it all clicked together, and I ended up really appreciating the book. I would recommend it.
