Description
Hill Women: Finding Family and a Way Forward in the Appalachian Mountains
Cassie Chambers pays tribute to the strong women who raised and inspired her, and whose values have the potential to rejuvenate a struggling region. Born into poverty, she rose to earn two Ivy League degrees, but her journey was shaped by the resourceful women of her community.
The story of her "hill women" is one of resilience and determination, set against the backdrop of a region struggling with decline. Through her family's history, Chambers reveals a path out of and back into the Kentucky mountains, where strong women find creative ways to survive and thrive.
