Praise for The Flood of Remembrance...
In The Flood of Remembrance, Julia Nunnally Duncan delves into the wonders of a Southern 60s childhood and the inevitable losses of adulthood. From summer thunderstorms to winter sledding, from a mother's memories of the mill village to an old man playing a mouth harp and dancing in the town's sole laundromat, Duncan offers gems reminiscent of Truman Capote's childhood stories.
-Dale Neal, Author of Kings of Coweetsee and The Woman of the Stone Knife
In a time when everybody and his cousin are clamoring to be Appalachian, Julia Nunnally Duncan has quietly gone about the business of being herself. Her many books have been inspired by her growing up in Marion, a small town tucked in the foothills of Western North Carolina where she still lives. Her new book of essays, The Flood of Remembrance, focuses on the writer's childhood in the 60's when her parents worked in hosiery mills, eking out a living. In the introduction, Duncan writes, To me, my family never seemed deprived of anything. More prosperous townspeople might have considered us poor, but we were not. Our lives were rich in every important way. Refreshingly, The Flood of Remembrance is a book about gratitude, celebrations and articulations of small joys that add up to a happy life. I can't remember when I've been so touched by a book.
-Tommy Hays, Author of The Pleasure Was Mine
