    Just finished reading it recently. I thought it was an excellent book, my family comes from Kentucky and Ohio and I really saw the similarities in culture in my own upbringing.

    Anyone else had a chance to read this yet?

    Nope. Never heard of it before. I will keep an eye out for it used on Amazon. I don't buy new books anymore as an act of civil disobedience for the backdooring I took at the college bookstore too many times.

    may I suggest you post a link so that others may get a hint of what you mean - here's one:

    it will likely make my wish list later on as I am reading other stuff at the moment
