Epilogue. A whisper from a mountain.
Summary:
"Troy Ball and her husband, Charlie, an engineer and real estate developer, had spent their entire lives in Texas. But after a near fatal trip to the emergency room with their non-verbal, wheelchair-bound son Marshall, they admitted the dust and the heat were too dangerous. To save their boys, the Balls cashed out, sold their beloved farm, and moved to Asheville,
North
Carolina
. Nearing fifty, Troy thought her chance at adventure had passed. But in this booming little Appalachian Mountain city of hippies, farmers, artisans, and retirees, she unexpectedly discovered a support network and something she’d never had in twenty-five years of providing round-the-clock care for her special needs boys: the freedom to pursue her own dreams. She struck up a friendship with a legendary eighty-year-old raconteur from the mountains, met his friends, and soon found herself in a rickety country shack with an ingeniously inventive retired farmer trying to create the best recipe ever for traditional mountain moonshine. But when the real estate bubble burst and the collapse of her husband Charlie's new venture in Asheville left them deeply in debt, Troy realized her ten-year business plan for Troy & Sons Platinum
Whiskey
wasn't enough. If she was going to save her family - and she was definitely going to save her family - she needed to become the most successful woman in the legal
whiskey
business. And she needed to do it fast, before the bank took her house, her business, and everything she'd worked so hard to achieve. Troy Ball is the founder and principal owner of Asheville Distilling Company in Asheville,
North
Carolina
. She is the mother of author Marshall Ball, whose book Kiss of God was featured on the Oprah Winfrey child prodigy show in 1999. Marshall, and his brother Coulton are disabled with an undiagnosed genetic disorder."--Provided by publisher.
