Disclaimer
This is a work of fiction with some effort to keep dates and times of national events and other significant information close to accuracy. It reflects the life of the author through her personal experiences, and some names may sound familiar that are used, but they too are to be noted as fictional, for the writer’s thoughts, opinions, and memories are as she remembers, and familiar sounding names and events are her interpretation of what seemed to have relevance to her life. Truth may resemble reality, but this truth reflects the author’s vision, and names of people and places are coincidental in how they relate to the story. That much attention has been given to the details of historical events, times, places, and characters; They are to be considered to be subjective for the benefit of writing this Appalachian tale. The author does wish to open thoughts to the plight of the citizens of Appalachian heritage at the expense of portraying significant events within her own life and her’s alone. Each person must seek their own reality, and it is felt by the writer that what actually happened during her lifetime might give others the opportunity to speak regarding similar life histories and events.
