Why did Clarence and Addie Moore abandon one of their daughters, then take their other three children and leave Missouri? The Moore and Pottorff families had been feuding for generations. Though the original reason had been lost over the years, they found new reasons to keep the fire of hate burning. The elder Moores were devout Christians. They did their best to live Godly lives; yet they struggled daily with the hostility caused by generations of hate. They were examples that though Christians, people still fail. The Pottorff family considered the Moores pious hypocrites. They were proud of the fact that they were not bound by some fake religion; they enjoyed life. The only thing the Pottorffs took seriously was the feud. The Moores were pro-prohibition. They considered alcohol devil's brew. The Pottorffs were anti-prohibition. In fact, Hettie Pottorff was rarely without a pint in her apron pocket. She was often heard griping, "There ain't nobody going to tell me what I can drink and what I can't drink." Women's suffrage was another area of contention. The Moores believed that a woman's place was in the home submitting to her husband. The Pottorffs felt that men had dominated women long enough. They opined to anyone who would listen, "Women have as much right to vote as a man." The clash escalated when Addie Pottorff married Clarence Moore. Now the battle had no end in sight. And when the couple took all of their children but one and left the state, forgiveness seemed forever out of the question. This book shows how one couple's choice, acted upon, not only affects their lives, but the lives of their children and those around them; especially the little girl that gets caught in the middle.
