The flood of remembrance : essays / Julia Nunnally Duncan.

Summary:

"In The flood of remembrance, Julia Nunnally Duncan delves into the wonders of a Southern 60s childhood and the inevitable losses of adulthood. From summer thunderstorms to winter sledding, from a mother's memories of the mill village to an old man playing a mouth harp and dancing in the town's sole laundromat, Duncan offers gems reminiscent of Truman Capote's childhood stories."--back cover.
