  In many parts of Appalachia, family ties run deep, constituting an important part of an individual's sense of self. This book blends literacy studies with literary criticism to analyze the central female characters in the works of Harriette Simpson Arnow, Linda Scott DeRosier, Denise Giardina, and Lee Smith.
