NUTGRASS AND
MOONSHINE
What do nutgrass and moonshine have in common? In the real world, they might occupy the same wooded area and many who must deal with their presence despise both. Nutgrass is also a novel by Linda M. Simmons, published by Booklocker.com. This novel does not deal with the devastating destrution of a weed on crops but on the devastating destruction of a young man while dealing with "The Society", a moonshine operation in the foothills of North Carolina.
Simmons chose the name "NUTGRASS" for her novel because she remembers chopping away at it in cotton and tobacco fields during her growing up years. Nutgrass grows from a blub that shoots root deep and out. To the horror of farmers and gardeners, it pops up again and again all over fields and gardens.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, nutgrass is the worst weed in 92 countries.
"I chose nutgrass for the title of my novel because I needed a word that would portray my characeter's mind set," Simmons said in a recent interview. "A word that explains how an idea forms in a person's mind, and even though it is replaced with explanationa and reasons it still pops back without much effort."
Before writing the novel, Simmons researched moonshine operations in the United States and learned that stills are not just back woods outfits. In fact, most of these "outfits" are well-organized operations led by people who are knowledgeable in the running of a profitable businesses. Stills are almost as plentiful today as they were during prohibtion. Bootleggers, a term used for people who make illegal whiskey, cheat the government out of millions of tax dollars each year.
"NUTGRASS" , the novel, deals with a young man's concept that poverty is to be scorned and destroyed by any means possible, even if that means going outside of the law. In primary school, the protagonist, Jon Henri Tyler, learns how to make a fast buck in the boy's bathroom at school before the first bell rings. At first, he cons his fellow classmates because he wants money to spend at a local Mom 'n Pop grocery store located across the street from the school. Later, his con games help him buy food and nice things for his family. Then came "The Society", the largest moonshine operation in North Carolina. Through this operation, he is able to not only help his family but also he learns how to operate a business, a legimate business he plans for his future. But, when he wants out, he learns too late, just how deadly "The Society" can be.
