Book Review: A Wonderful glimpse into Appalachia
Summary: 5 Stars
Not many writers are able to describe with such detail the connection to the land, as Silas House. A great story of those having to leave the area to find a job, fighting the broad form deed of the late 60's and early 70's and the surface mining for coal that abused it. The style is reminiscent of Jesse Stuart and William Faulkner. Mr. House has done a great service to these hills I call home and wish him the best in the future.
