Shifflett, Peggy Ann

The author opens up her soul in this intimate look at life in Hopkins Gap, Virginia. She tells the fascinating lives of her family and neighbors as they eke out a hard living in Appalachia. Her experiences are not always pleasant, yet she tells her story with great humor and compassion. This work is so vividly personal that the reader is allowed to become part of the mountain community with the author and her family.
