“You are not a handgun. More like a pellet gun. Maybe even a slingshot.”
Jason Jack Miller, The Devil and Preston Black

“Grandma saw our red dog road as a place where I might fall down and get hurt.

But I knew if I did, I'd get back up.

And that red dog road would lead me to every place I would ever go in my lifetime.”
Drema Hall Berkheimer, Running on Red Dog Road: And Other Perils of an Appalachian Childhood
