In the shadows of the West Virginia hills, secrets don’t stay buried for long.
The Ville is a raw, emotionally-charged Appalachian drama that dives deep into the heart of a small town where loyalty is tested, lines are crossed, and redemption is never guaranteed. Former high school football hero Rodney LeMaster had it all—until addiction, greed, and desperation turned him into a legend of a different kind. Told through the eyes of someone who knows too much and says too little, this gripping novel pulls you into a world where everyone’s connected, and no one is innocent.
With unforgettable characters, dark twists, and a voice as strong as the mountains themselves, The Ville is not just a story—it’s a reckoning.
If you love gritty Southern fiction, Appalachian storytelling, and novels that feel like they might just be true, this book is for you.
