Pure Heart: A Spirited Tale of Grace, Grit, and Whiskey by Troylyn Ball and Bret Witter is more than the story of the building of Asheville Distillery and Troy & Sons. It is also an inspirational tale for parents who are dealing with the difficulties of special needs children.

Troy is the first female legal moonshiner in the history of the South. Her life is lived in an Appalachian Mountain city - home to a collection of characters (Big Stone Gap meets moonshining). The story captured my heart - Troy, the mother of two special needs sons, still found time to co-found a center for disabled children, create the perfect moonshine recipe and care for her sons. It is a wonderful book for Mother's Day gifts. Mothers everywhere can use a little inspiration and sometimes a whole lot of moonshine. As a mother of a son with Asperger's and bi-polar disorder, I grew courage from her strength. 

We are pleased to offer three copies of this title to our EYB Members in the US. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

Do you enjoy whiskey and if so - as a drink or as an ingredient?
