| In This Valley I Grew by Mary Ellen Goble Preece is about a by-gone era that brings to mind a glimpse back to a happy childhood. Back to a time of innocence. Back even further to a time when sweet things to eat were only valued at a penny, nickel, or dime.
Let us wander back with her as she takes us through time to the 1950s, to a life on Blacklog and Happy Hollow. A time when things were simpler, and childhood games took place mostly outside in the hot summer days and cool summer evenings.
As this four star, sentiment-filled book of events unfold, we see through her eyes, what could only be told through what she saw and felt at that time. A time of visits with neighbors, friends, and family. Of walks to the store or church and back. To a time when moms and dads sat on the porch after supper in the cool of the evening and told their own stories of growing up, while watching the children at play.
Let the words of Mary Ellen Goble Preece inspire you to read this heart-felt story of an Appalachian neighborhood of long ago in Martin County, Kentucky. Maybe, just maybe, a spark of a forgotten memory of that era may yield a sunshiny day into someone's life. | | |
