The Harboring & other stories is a collection that weaves together the resiliency of Appalachian women—in fact, all women—as they meet their seemingly insurmountable challenges with grace, celebrate their joys, and find ways to resolve all that remains unresolved in their lives. Each story finds a connection with the others until "The Harboring" brings it to an unexpected crescendo.
