There's a certain energy in the South...that feeling that you can't get anywhere else. The
people, the language, the land-they all lend themselves to rich, unforgettable stories.
Laura Hunter is a master storyteller who captures not only the romance of life in the
South, but also the pain and grittiness. The stories in this collection give glimpses into the
lives of fascinating characters-stories of life, death, love, and loss, of dreams shattered and
hopes rebuilt. Through it all, Hunter weaves a common thread that remains with the
reader long after the book is closed. Containing award-winning stories, such as:
- Moon Shadows Dancing - Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Award
- A Widow's Mite - Patricia Boatner Award; Tennessee Mountain Writers
- She (Carter's Woman) - H E Francis Award; University of Alabama, Huntsville
Campus, Harriet Arnow Award for Short Stories - Appalachian Writers Association
