Wellspring

With this anthology and legacy of her fiction, nonfiction, and personal essays, her fans will inherit a full knowledge of the source of Giles' inspiration: Kentucky.

~Journal of the Jackson Purchase Society

Any writer who makes her readers laugh, cry, wring their hands, question their own ingrained attitudes and stay up all night so as not to have to leave the world she draws them into, has accomplished what she set out to do, and Giles admirably succeeds.

~Lexington Herald-Leader

Her poignant re-creation of the terrain of childhood leaves one nostalgic, and her observations of her Appalachian neighbors provide profound insights into the Appalachian mind.
