Hilarious and touching, this is an engaging memoir of sometimes-eccentric North Carolina mountain families from the discovery of the highest peak East of the Rockies (Mt. Mitchell, NC) and life in Blue Ridge Mountain logging camps in 1916.It runs through hard-scrabble but optimistic courtships and marriages during the Great Depression and World War II. Janis Allen tells brief stories which place readers in these olden times, then brings their life lessons, accents, tricks, and foods into the present.
