Hanged Man Hollow Amanda Nell Adams

Roy wanted to marry Callie Jane, but she wanted to think about it. It wasn't their first fight or even the first time Roy told her how lucky she was to have him. When the call came that Callie's brother had died, Roy wanted to go with her, but Callie was done with the rich farmer from Iowa. She was returning home to say goodbye; she was returning home to the shame that had haunted her all her life. But now, after making her way successfully in a wider world, she had questions. Was there nothing more to her than what Roy and so many others had seen? Did being raised up a holler in the mountains of Kentucky mean she was nothing? Was she just a hillbilly? And what did that mean for the ancestors and family who had tamed a land which filled her dreams?
