Madge GrossSynopsis
Music, Moonshine, and Murder unfolds amidst the hills of early 20th century North Carolina, a time when women's rights were scarce. Days were spent toiling in the fields under the scorching sun for meager wages, with Maggie Gross among those facing societal scorn as an unwed mother at just sixteen. Music offered solace in Maggie's life; adept with her banjo since childhood, she harbored dreams of gracing the Grand Ole Opry stage with the Carter Family.
Amidst prejudice for her unconventional family, Maggie eventually wed Jim Setzer, settling in a lawless community where moonshine flowed as freely as judgment. Their union faced its sternest test one brisk October morning, an event that would reverberate through generations, reshaping the lives of Maggie's boys in unforeseen ways.
