This is my favorite Jesse Stuart book. We read aloud as a family, and each of us thoroughly enjoyed it. This is Mr. Stuart's autobiography centered around his teaching career, and the remarkable Appalachian students with whom he was blessed to work. The story is very heartwarming, and gives an accurate glimpse into the real lives of poor, mountain children, and the Kentucky mindset in general.
