It is a collection of short stories from the hills of Appalachia. This book has had three book reviews on Amazon.com and on a one to five gold star rating system all three gave it five gold stars with some very favorable remarks. You can view and/or buy this book by logging onto Authorhouse.com and typing in the author's name or the book title. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
