Summary:

B B B This story of a resilient, tough Appalachian woman who, as daughter, wife, and mother, provides strength and inspiration for her family in the face of extreme adversity, was first published in 1950, though it was written during the thirties. The book reflects the central feminist vision that values the strong and intelligent partner in this family life, who, when her husband loses his leg, assumes not only the responsibility for the family's survival, but even for his. The novel is beautifully written, spare and direct in its language, and the characterization is warm and human.
