Don't Sing At the Table
“Behind her, the great Mary Farino, her sister-in-law. Viola wears a blouse made in Sonny’s mill in Big Stone Gap.
One of the most frequent questions posed to me as a novelist involves budding artists. Parents want to know what to “do” with their artistic child. Are there classes? Lessons? Is there something they can do at home to help them find their way?

There was ancient history, epic romance, and centuries-old vendettas.MoreLess
