Back Jacket
This book was written to honor my father. I loved him so much that I was not willing to let the memory of him die. I would have loved him even if he had not been my father. He is only one of many mountain people--proud, brave, sturdy, hard-working, god-fearing, and sensitive--living in a place and time so unique and different that its very simplicity is too profound to be fully understood and explained.
