Book Description
Roan Mountain depicts this history of this small and diverse appalachian community. Roan Mountain, a 6,286-foot-high peak, straddles the Tennessee and North Carolina state line in the Appalachian Mountains. Home to world-famous rhododendron gardens, the Appalachian Trail, the site of Gen. John T. Wilder's historic Cloudland Hotel, and record-breaking lofty balds, thousands of visitors, including explorer John Muir and Vice Pres. Richard Nixon, have ascended Roan Mountain over the last two centuries. Biologists, botanists, and tourists have enjoyed its unique natural setting. At the mountain's base and on its slopes, rural communities have endearing histories. Decades ago, the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad passed through the village at the foot of "the Roan." The railroad brought wealthy passengers to the mountain-top Cloudland Hotel. It also allowed local industrialists the opportunity to export the area's natural resources. The people of Roan Mountain are proud of their history and have displayed it annually for more than a half-century during the Rhododendron Festival.

Book Description
Ecocriticism and Appalachian studies continue to grow and thrive in academia, as they expand on their foundational works to move in new and exciting directions. When researching these areas separately, there is a wealth of information. However, when researching Appalachian ecocriticism specifically, the lack of consolidated scholarship is apparent. With Appalachian Ecocriticism and the Paradox of Place, editors Jessica Cory and Laura Wright have created the only book-length scholarly collection of Appalachian ecocriticism. Appalachian Ecocriticism and the Paradox of Place is a collection of scholarly essays that engage environmental and ecocritical theories and Appalachian literature and film. These essays, many from well-established Appalachian studies and southern studies scholars and ecocritics, engage with a variety of ecocritical methodologies, including ecofeminism, ecospiritualism, queer ecocriticism, and materialist ecocriticism, to name a few. Adding Appalachian voices to the larger ecocritical discourse is vital not only for the sake of increased diversity but also to allow those unfamiliar with the region and its works to better understand the Appalachian region in a critical and authentic way. Including Appalachia in the larger ecocritical community allows for the study of how the region, its issues, and its texts intersect with a variety of communities, thus allowing boundless possibilities for learning and analysis.

Book Description
The Journey Begins is a book based on our walk through healing and deliverance. Throughout the book trials, tribulations, and testing are parallel though hikes taken in the mountains with insight as to what is really happening. The whole book is designed to draw one closer to God. Catherine Mae has been saved since April 18, 1990 and has walked through many deep valleys through her life. Abuse was part of her life and she was almost overcome with anorexia/bulimia until the Lord called her to Himself. Catherine knows the heartaches of divorce, being co-dependent and having a course of self-destruction set in her life. When Jesus called her to Himself, her life seemed completely out of control and totally destroyed. Once she called on the Lord, He began to restore, rebuild and renew every area that had been broken in her life. Lies of the enemy were replaced with God's truth about who she was to HIM, and from that faithful day in April 1990, all things indeed became new. She is married and has 6 children and 4 grandchildren. God has blessed her with the privilege of serving on a team as a teacher/praise and worship leader in three local prisons and a cell-to-cell ministry on death row. She led Kay Author and Beth Moore Bible studies and served as worship leader at Women's Aglow local chapter. Catherine's message is that God is faithful, sovereign and uses everything we go through for His glory, for our good and to help rebuild others. We serve an awesome GOD! Joseph puts the message best in Genesis 50:20 NIV: You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. May God be praised!
