"A broad sampling of deeply impressive writings-essays, memoirs, poetry, letters, stories-by women from the Southern Highlands." -Kirkus Reviews
Winner of the 1997 Appalachian Studies Award
Appalachian Writers Association 1999 Book of the Year
Winner of the Susan Koppleman Award of the Popular Culture Association for Best Edited Collection in Women's Studies
Thirty-five women writers from Appalachia define the region in a larger, more generous, and more intricate way that it has been defined before, dispelling many demeaning stereotypes of the region. The writers tell their compelling stories with poignancy, eloquence, forthrightness, and humor. A new American literary renaissance is ablaze in the Southern Highlands-the very place so often depicted by outsiders as dimly lit. 35 photos.
"Dyer succeeds admirably in a dual purpose: to promote a vital and virtually unknown body of work, and to suggest an Appalachian spirit that transcends state borders and artistic genres." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"From the well-known, like Dykeman, Sharyn McCrumb and Denise Giardina, to the lesser known, these essayists, in one way or another, write of what it means to come to fully appreciate one's native tongue; to be inspired by the courage and fortitude of their Appalachian foremothers; and to glory in their profound attachment to the natural beauty of the Appalachian hills, hollers and trails." -Bowling Green Daily News
"The writers here represent some of the most unique and often unsung talent in literature. These essays will carry you to a far mountain place and whet your appetite for more." -Magazine (Baton Rouge, LA)
