A New York Times Bestselling Author
A powerful testament of strength, survival, and the magic of the printed word, The Mountains We Call Home is wrapped into a vivid portrait of Kentucky life: examining incarceration and criminalization, exploring the effects on the poor and powerless, and tracing the societal consequences of fractured family bonds, along with heartwarming portraits of reading efforts in every facet of life. Meticulously researched and richly detailed with a new cast of complex characters, this beautifully authentic Kentucky tale is gritty and heartbreaking and infused with hope, spirit, and courage known only to those with no way out.
