This is the story of Ivy Rowe's life. She was born in the Virginia Appalachian mountains and her story is told entirely through the letters she writes to family and friends over the course of her life. She shares her thoughts about her own life as she lives it as well as giving the reader a look at life in the Appalachians from the turn of the century until her death sometime in the 70's. I did enjoy this book but had a difficult time getting into it at first.
