A beautiful book about survival and life in Southern Appalachia, from the turn of the century on. This is a wonderful book that I first read in a Women in Southern Lit class, and I reread it every few years. All of Lee Smiths' books are wonderful, but this remains my favorite.
The GOP's White Supremacy

And I'm glad I did.
