A book of poetry that represents the Appalachian lifestyle that has determined the core of who we are today. It has the raw emotions, beliefs and experiences of a person that grew up in this environment. The poems open a doorway for younger generations to step into a world of values and lifestyle rarely seen today. With a vision of a time that only their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents lived through, brought back by words and emotion. This book embodies a culture of simple ways, hard work and the trials and tribulations of life as we experience it yesterday and today.
