Perry Woodson Hatfield James is the uneasy heir to the legacies of the feuding Hatfield clan and the notorious James brothers. Torn between family loyalties and personal honor, Perry is coming of age in the rough and tumble world of poverty-stricken Appalachia. From the murderous antagonism between coal company scabs and union miners during a strike, to the lure of the seedy watering holes beckoning him, Perry struggles to improve his family's lot and escape the moonshine-sodden world of Eastern Kentucky. "To the Bright and Shining Sun" is the heartfelt tale of one young man's perilous journey from boyhood to manhood, as he battles against his own anger and despair in his search for a better life.
