    in celebrating her years of

     painting and living in the

      Appalachian Mountains of

      Virginia and West Virginia.

       In her book, through

        imagery and narrative, she

         weaves the story of how

          her life, her art, and living

           in the mountains have

            become so appreciatively

             entwined.
