Definitely thanks for sharing, and I really hope her stories can be published. As I mentioned once before, I do genealogy and my people moved to Johnson County, KY during the Civil War. When I'm in Ashland, KY, I always visit the Jesse Stuart Foundation because they have a great bookstore with local authors. There are historical works, genealogies, but also cookbooks, memoirs, and I've purchased books about wildflowers and field guides, too. I tree-mailed Sharon years ago to tell her how well I thought an anthology of her stories would fit in with the JSF goals. And not only that, but how I felt her stories capture a lot of knowledge that is being lost in a time when many are trying to rediscover it. I felt like they had to be captured before they were gone. I sincerely hope her family pursues publishing her stories and shares that gift with all of us. I'd happily pitch in for a Kickstarter campaign for self-publishing!
