this hard to find book is well worth the search. if you love the south (carolinas) and can relate to being a poor adolescent with a desire to own your first car, were a little more adventurous than the average teenager, and understand people in a realistic manner come along for the ride. two young men decide that first hudson is worth smuggling a little moonshine for the local bootlegger. hilarious at times, gut wrenching at others. not recommended for the shallow at heart.
