While reading Billy Harp's stories I was reminded of the great short story writer George Saunders' thoughts on such inscriptions. He said: 'When you read a short story, you come out a little more aware and a little more in love with the world around you.' Harp's stories transport the reader back to a less complicated yet strikingly familiar time; a time that entices recollections from the recesses of the reader's mind. Harp's narratives are exceedingly enjoyable. --Craig M. Ashbrook Author of Wait For Me, Boys! Wait For Me! Florida, like most places in America, felt the pain of hard times in the mid-1900's. No one liked to acknowledge their poverty, but it was there, and it either brought down its victims or made them better for having lived through it. Harp vividly and candidly tells of the struggles of his people and how they survived, using what was available, including a moonshine still. --Brenda Crissman Musick Appalachian Author
