"APPALACHIA NOW is an essential and necessary collection of stories. For too many, the people of Appalachia are little more than stereotypes. APPALACHIA NOW undoes that injustice by representing the real people of Appalachia today without forgetting that we can't help but be shaped by our geography. Appalachia is as much a character here as are any of these diverse, complex, troubled characters. This collection is a delving—an invitation into a world often represented by pop culture, but seldom as authentically nor as skillfully as by the writers herein."—Jeff Vande Zande
