The stories in Bobbie Ann Mason’s remarkable collection read like poetic transcriptions of day-to-day life. With her keen eye and ear for late twentieth-century popular culture, Mason can render a photograph of a brightly lit supermarket or a bit of wisdom from the Donahue show. This special edition of a beloved local author’s work includes a new foreword by George Ella Lyon, Kentucky writer and friend of the author.

Bobbie Ann Mason is the bestselling author of Clear Springs: A Family Story, Feather Crowns, In Country, and many other books and stories. She lives in Kentucky.
