Book Description
You’ll want to spend every minute of your time with the O’Daniel Family, experiencing their simple adventures in a way that only this oldest daughter can weave them. Written with a sense of hope and an amazing capture of mid-twentieth century detail, you will enjoy the opportunity to: Revisit big department stores again, when Louisville’s only place to shop was downtown Spend a delightful day at Fontaine Ferry, Louisville’s famous amusement park Be part of the quarrels, love and joy – feeling the bonds of this close knit era, when dependence on family members and neighbors was essential. Experience farm life in the suburbs. Deanna’s classmates jumped rope in subdivisions while the O’Daniels slopped hogs, killed chickens, and hoped they went to school without smelling like the animals they tended. Only a few can tell their story coherently like Deanna does with this touching memoir. First born in a large rural family, she relates her passage through childhood with charming and accurate descriptions of life in Kentuckiana. A chronicle of many customs and places that are fast slipping away from our collective memories, such as her description of the country store in Nelson County, Kentucky. A book you will tell others, “I’m so fond of this one.” John Allen Boyd, Emerson Avery, That Latin Teacher Deanna’s story is of dedicated parents and (eventually) 11 children. They migrated near Louisville, Kentucky when Deanna was five. Her stories about those formative years paint a portrait in glowing colors, depicting struggles and love that molds and endures. You will love Deanna and her story. Terry Cummins, Feed My Sheep O’Daniel, a gifted writer who tightly weaves her life’s journey through stories that makes growing up on a farm sound like sunshine. She shares the daily toil, angst and rivalry associated with a large family in a humorous, but realistic way – tugging at your heart for a piece of those bygone days. Corrider Jones, A Backward Glance

Book Description
This book is the third in the series, and it follows both Kiss Your Elbow - A Kentucky Memoir, about growing up during the 1940s and 50s, 'and its sequel, Changing the Sheets - A Kentucky Memoir, is my story as a representative of the Silent Generation, and how we found our voice. This book is a "Companion Book" to my second book, Changing the Sheets - A Kentucky Memoir. This book begins with my hard-won freedom, as a divorced woman, by starting my new life in the Highlands area of Louisville - the neighborhood of my dreams. Many women were striking out on their own, at this time. I was eager to join them. As the generation that took women out of the home and into the workplace, our Silent Generation needed more skills in setting boundaries, and taking up for ourselves. We were used to being told, "It's not 'Lady-like, ' to speak 'out of turn." Many challenges were part of my journey, but there was a lot of fun and adventure, too. The time period shown in this book follows the caustic, 1960s, and moves beyond. As you read, you will hopefully recall some good memories of your own. Nostalgia is powerful!

Book Description
In this humorous and intelligent memoir from a consummate storyteller, Sheila Joyce Strunk captures the richness of language and the eccentricity of people and places she knew growing up in the mountain South. SWEET EVENING BREEZE bewitches from its opening dissertation on spirit. Strunk offers astonishing detail in the wry voice of the natural-born songwriter and storyteller. **** Two poets laureate enthusiastically recommend SWEET EVENING BREEZE: **** George Ella Lyon says, "There is so much to love about SWEET EVENING BREEZE: the author's affection for our history, her eye for the quirky and absurd in human character, her irreverent wisdom, her political and literary savvy. But what I find the most delicious about Sheila Joyce Strunk's memoir is the muscular music of her language. Lyrical, pithy, rejoicing in sound and rhythm, her words are alive and enlivening. Don't miss this book!" **** Gurney Norman says, "Sheila Joyce Strunk's memoir SWEET EVENING BREEZE is one of the most interesting and best written books I have read in a very long time. In her lively, vibrant voice she tells touching, funny, dramatic and always fascinating stories of her early life among colorful relatives and local people in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. The book is a river of stories of people, personalities, places and historic events that flow naturally together in Sheila Strunk's irresistible writing style. It is refreshing that the stories in Strunk's book come from her own prodigious human memory." (www.MotesBooks.com)

Book Description
True short stories are what make this book better than a straight biography. In these pages are stories; I have heard many times told by my grandparents, parents, and then some from my sisters & I that we have been a part of. My grandparents & parents were born and raised in Eastern Kentucky around Irishman Creek, and the holler dad lived in was known as Booger Town; now wait; that name is no worse than Possum Trot or Hog Holler which are real places as well. Allot of good stories come from my family as they worked hard to cut out a living in Eastern Kentucky. My short stories begin during the Great Depression Era; which begin with my grandparents, Fields & Mullins families. Dad/Bud was born in 1936, and mom/Fronia in 1940. They got the tail end feel of the Great Depression Era. However, this is a book of short stories of events that are funny, scary, and adventurous only two chapters out of 25 can be called part of a short biography; while the rest are for fun. Follow the exploits of Monroe, Mae, Newt, Lizzie, Bud & Fronia as well as other family members as the stories unfold; feel free to laugh out loud.

Book Description
Kentucky straight is bourbon with no mixer. Kentucky Straight is Kentucky seen without nostalgic gloss. These riveting, often heartbreaking stories, take us through country that is unmapped. They are set in a nameless Appalachian community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation; where hunting is not a sport but a means of survival. These are stories of coal miners and backwoods medicine men, of gamblers and marijuana farmers, tales of real tragedy and unutterable strangeness that convey their sense of place so vividly that we feel its ground rise beneath our feet. Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award.
