Inspired by the author's childhood experiences in Cool Ridge, West Virginia, WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN THE MOUNTAINS reflects on the simplicities and joys of rural life. Looking back on her life in the Appalachian Mountains, where she lived with her younger brother and her loving grandparents, the female narrator reminisces about such simple pleasures as floating in the local swimming hole, visiting the general store, raising chickens, and pumping water from a well. Illustrated with color paintings.
