I don't know what draws me to these Appalachian stories, but this one is fantastic, and comparable to "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker, "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls, and "Bastard Out of Carolina" by Dorothy Allison. To quote Wally Lamb, "stories that examine the push of the human spirit against the forces of tyranny and poverty." Greene is a borne story teller, and writes magnificently.
