Such an amazing book by an amazing person. Hopefully a larger publisher will get ahold of this book so it can take off like it properly needs to be!

An interesting short read biography of a woman living in the Appalachians and what life was like. It is hard for me to imagine the ignorance that they claim existed not to mention the fact that this woman didnt have electricity til the 1950s and even then it was one bulb. Simply told and a quick read.
Also it refers to CAP which I've never heard of.

As a fellow mountain woman, I have incredible appreciation for this story.

Leave it in one of those book exchanges outside of hipster cafes, and pass it along.

Her story is ever-undyingly spiritual.
