Voices from the Hollow : What happened when the Blue Bloods met the Blue Ridge
Lowest New Price: $18.17List Price: $19.95 Description: The Blue Bloods meet the Blue Ridge - a reverse "Beverly Hillbillies?" With a family like his, how could Hirsh escape becoming a psychiatrist? It's all about how the other half lives. Which other half? That depends which side of the Hollow you're from. . . Appalachia. According to popular mythology, it's a mountainous holdover from colonial days, an all-white outlaw society mired in poverty and cliche jokes about family feuds. Throw in some stories about moonshine, add a few images of grimy coal miners and you're done. People who know better and try to preserve Appalachian history and culture are not match for developers greedy for more land and franchise locations. The process is irreversible, but the real story - hilariously funny, sometimes poignant, always surprising - can be told, savored and remembered.
