Berkley Trade, 1997

Practically Lyrical

+ An Inside Look at a Little Known Spiritualism.
+ Powerful, lyrical, moving

The editorial and other customer reviews do a good job of covering the characters and basic plot, so I won't go into that. This has to be the best book I've read in months. It's practically lyrical, the sentences are so pretty. The dust jacket is more than a little off on the plot, so don't read ...

Accurate, Inspiring, Absolutely Lovely Read

+ From one ferriner to another...
+ above chick lit

Being from the Big Stone Gap area myself, I found this book to be an absolute joy.

These discs are great. With all the original episodes, along with deleted scenes and outtakes, it makes this gift just as intimate as it is nostalgic. If you've never seen the series, you're in for a treat.
