Description: "Morris A. Grubbs has sifted through vintage classics and little-known gems to assemble this collection of forty stories. In subtle and profound ways the stories challenge and overturn accepted stereotypes about the land their authors call home, whether by birth or by choice.".

"Arranged by order of their first appearance in print, the stories form a diverse gathering as well as a unified story cycle of novelistic scope. Separately and collectively, they reflect a universal and a particularly Kentuckian cycle of embracing and departing, the journey from rootedness to rootlessness and back again, and the individual's and culture's love affair both with home and with the world beyond its borders."--BOOK JACKET.
