A collection of closely related short stories in which the author creates a portrait of a rural Kentucky community, largely seen through the eyes of female protagonists. Young, old, Black, white, tenant farmer, landowner, preacher, teacher; the community's lives are woven together and their choices help determine each other's fates. This collection is set in the rural south in the mid-twentieth century and provides an interesting and immediate lens with which to view the loves, tragedies, and longings of the people who lived in that time and place from a very feminine perspective.
