M.K.B. Graham, a lifelong Virginian, writes literary fiction, historical fiction, and short stories set in Western Virginia where her family roots run deep, stretching back to the 1700s. A graduate of Virginia Tech, Graham has worked as a staff and freelance writer for several Virginia universities. The author who lives and writes in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley is fascinated by old houses, earlier eras, particularly the 1930s and 1940s, and the influence of families on history, much of which informs her writing.

The book gives a perspective on that era that is new and interesting, especially the players like Herbert Hoover. (I didn't know he was so well-traveled or that he had studied engineering and geology!) (less)

What they won’t have …

I’ve been mulling the dilemma for future generations—especially when they become curious about their own ancestry, a search that is curiously engaging especially as one ages. 

I’m fortunate because I come from a family with two habits that leave me with ample trails to follow. While some, of course, are rabbit holes, which I’ve written about, many more—far more, in fact—are pieces of history that t
