"Bee Livingston is a nervy, teenage beauty whose beloved father's sudden death in a snake charming accident has left her alone with her abusive mother. Her one salvation is Miles, the big-city photographer who promises escape and a life full of the adventure she craves. But when Bee is caught in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with a government man who takes her family's land and won't stop until he claims her too, it may be Torch, the boy she grew up with on the mountain, who becomes the man she needs. Based on the true story of the hundreds of families who were forced from their Blue Ridge Mountain homes to make way for Shenandoah National Park in the 1930s, Go Down the Mountain is a tale of dispossession, coming of age, and love."

I don't feel the story matched the description. It was said to be a tale inspired by families in the 1930s forced to move to form the Shenandoah National park. While Bee and her family did have to move, the majority of the book was about her going to an insane asylum, breaking out and getting pregnant.
The first chapter implies that a mother is writing this story for her three year old daughter but it seems unbelievable a mother would share this many sordid details with her daughter.
The grammatical style really bothered me. I know they should have a regional accent from Appalachia however it feels like little research was done into what that would actually sound like. Instead their "accent" seems to be made up with mostly just poor grammer, fake and hillbilly stereotypical. Also the accent was also not steady throughout, it would come and go. (
