When I Was Young in the Mountains
Cynthia Rylant; Tandem Library 1999
This remembrance is written from the point of view of a girl who lived in Appalachia as a child and loved the place, her grandparents, and the way of life. She describes her grandfather’s appearance after a day of mining, how she pumped pails of water from the well, and how grandfather sharpened her pencils with his pocketknife.
