This is Deany Brady's third memoir and is the story of her transplanting to a new culture: from Appalachia to California. For the first time in her almost seventy years, Deany starts to realize her dream of becoming a writer. Through college classes, devotion to her writing, and new communities of fellow writers - in addition to the encouragement of family and friends - she starts to find her truest path. All of Deany Brady's memoirs hold as their core and inspiration the life she lived as a child in Appalachia. Deany's early life in Appalachia informs her grown-up life, and becomes a touchstone for her. Especially at moments of greatest worry and desperation, she finds herself restored through the sense of her parents' and her Grandma's abiding love for her. Her years in Appalachia, as a child and as a mother, have become the deep well from which she draws nourishment, joy, and a wealth of resources for her memoirs. Appalachia is genuinely in her heart, and at the heart of her writing.
