520    For readers of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie and The Turner 
       House, an intimately told story about a woman living by 
       her own rules and the rural community that struggles to 
       understand her.  Azalea “Knot” Centre is determined to 
       live life as she pleases. Let the people of West Mills say
       what they will; the neighbors’ gossip won’t keep Knot from
       what she loves best: cheap moonshine, nineteenth-century 
       literature, and the company of men. And yet, Knot is 
       starting to learn that her freedom comes at a high price. 
       Alone in her one-room shack, ostracized from her relatives
       and cut off from her hometown, Knot turns to her neighbor,
       Otis Lee Loving, in search of some semblance of family and
       home.   Otis Lee is eager to help. A lifelong fixer, Otis 
       Lee is determined to steer his friends and family away 
       from decisions that will cause them heartache and 
       ridicule. After his failed attempt as a teenager to help 
       his older sister, Otis Lee discovers a possible path to 
       redemption in the chaos Knot brings to his doorstep. But 
       while he’s busy trying to fix Knot’s life, Otis Lee finds 
       himself powerless to repair the many troubles within his 
       own family, as the long-buried secrets of his troubled 
       past begin to come to light.  Set in an African American 
       community in rural North Carolina from 1941 to 1987, In 
       West Mills is a magnificent, big-hearted small-town story 
       about family, friendship, storytelling, and the redemptive
       power of love.
