Produktbeschreibung
Ripples From the Holler is a fictional trilogy blended with historical touchstones that recounts the extraordinary adventures of an American mixed blood family who survive trials and hardships through the early 1900s back to the early 1800s. Truth, deception and the mystic merge into peculiar twists and turns--times of elation and tragedy as the line transitions from Indian lifestyle to White civilization-hunter gatherers to farmers. Indian ancestors, the lore of Tennessee hill folk, effects of the Great Depression, bits of Civil War traumas and Indian battles that raged across the plains and woodlands unfold. Narrated by a tenacious, feisty character whose life is deeply affected tells all--up front and personal. Fantasy with action, mystery, and the supernatural are entwined together, spiced with a pinch of romance, some rippling across to the Tennessee river waters from far away shores. Rough sketches of key characters and landscape are interspersed throughout to magnify the text visually tracing this remarkable line of kin, held together by God, love, and pure grit.

Autorenporträt
Gene Berryhill, Ph.D. worked as a professor of art and art history at universities in numerous parts of the world for over thirty years, her most recent positions being at the Belmont University campus in Nashville, TN and the University of Maryland-UMGC online. A published non-fiction author, a Fulbright scholar and a National Endowment for the Humanities co-recipient briefly sums up her career in academia.

As a professional artist in mixed media and documental photography with a stint in fresco painting, four years ago she picked up sketching and painting on canvas again, which sparked, lit the kindling, and started the fire to write this book. It was a leap of faith from her city life and extensive travel back to her love for Tennessee, the country and kin-past and present.

Her first project of historical fiction, she loves reading others' works of like kind that creatively mix history and fact with lore. Reading into the wee hours with thunder, lightning and rain overhead is one of her favorite past times. Today Berryhill lives with her husband and cat on the Cumberland River in the Tennessee woodlands.
