The Homegoing
Healings. Snake handlers. Stills. Quotes from the Bible. Family feuds.  Chicken coops. Speaking in tongues. Indian medicine bags. Laying outs. Inter-generational rivalry. Forty lashes of hot wax.  Old-fashioned tent revivals. Michael Olin-Hitt, in The HOMEGOING, has, with skillful writing and a true knowledge of home, combined the aura of the mid-twentieth-century Appalachia of southern Ohio with the puzzle of a mysterious disappearance and the solving of a family mystery.  Read and enjoy.--Jane Piirto, author of Saunas and A Location in the Upper Peninsula.
