by Hubert Skidmore ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 22, 1936
Homespun tale of a hill family attempting to uproot themselves and form new contacts in the mill town in the valley. The mother's burning desire to return to the farm in the hills and save her children from town life dominates the story. A very real quality to the characters and a three dimensional feeling to the Kentucky Blue Ridge background. First novel -- winner of Avery Hopwood Award.
