This memoir is story-telling at its best. The author does admit that some of the characters are blended together and the timelines are altered, so the stories are not strictly autobiographical. But they are a wonderful reflection on coming of age in rural West Virginia. There is poverty, heart break, and tragedy, but also love, and hope and many laugh out loud moments. The stories and the characters do come together to build a biography of a place instead of a person. The place is neither black nor white and the author does a wonderful job weaving all its bits and pieces together. I imagine this would be a wonderful audio book.
