Roy Pipes is a marvelous storyteller and keeps the plot moving along in this great Appalachian Tale!
I enjoy most books that are written about Appalacia and it's people. Makes me feel closer to them.
Great human interest as well as place history. Could understand the language and typical situations as they related to the area covered.
This is an engaging, must-read novel.
