Why read it?
1 author picked Appalachian Patterns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Tight, vivid writing about the poorest people in America in the richest country in the world. There is dignity and warmth of two sons caring for their blind father, and there is God in also every life, for better or worse. I have to read this book at least once a year to remember what hard times and resolutions are. Every word seems to matter.
From Franz's list on the roots of social change through popular music.
