Up Shit Creek: Confessions of the Crushers Motorcycle Club and Other Stories guides readers deep into the Cove where I grew up in Perry County, Pennsylvania, during the 1960s and '70s beside a narrow trickling creek strewn with raw sewage. Sooner or later we all find ourselves Up Shit Creek. We're defined by how we navigate with or without a paddle.

Generations of rural people living and dying amid the shadows of Cove Mountain have contributed for better or worse to this mostly white slice of a struggling nation. This is the story of blue-collar soul, country-fried patriotism and Appalachian American perseverance. My characters too often stand ignored on the edge, a misunderstood class whose bold, unvarnished freedom offers wisdom to anyone willing to empathize with their troubles.

Cove pride helps shape everything Steve Corbett writes. His words stress survival and resilience. That's Corbett in the photograph standing on the back road at the intersection of Schoolhouse Road and Sawmill Road behind the rented brick house where he grew up.
