Tar Hollow Trans: Essays by Stacy Jane Grover

5.0

Vivid, vibrant, and real. Stacy Jane has written memories and woven them with history and since our lives over lapped as pre-teens and teenagers a lot of this book was like dusting off the cobwebs of my own youth and my own memories. Any book, story, or essay that can do that is masterful. The dedication had me crying, along with various other parts throughout. This Book is powerful, meaningful, and I know will be a balm to folks in Appalachian small towns who don’t fit the “Cookie cutter normal” I hope this finds/is finding it’s audience and that people luxuriate in the storytelling.
