Produktinformationen zu „Moonshine to Moonbloom (ePub)“
Aradella Stark came into a world beautifully rooted in nature but limited in cultural development. How she transcends that limitation is the overarching theme of the book, set during the mid-1900s in a cotton mill village located in Northwest Georgia where her mother is a nightshift spinner at the mill and her father a house painter who makes most of his income from bootlegging moonshine whiskey. Nurtured by her angelic uncle, often referred to as "peculiar," she learns to love nature and experiences racial harmony with nearby neighbors. This story of Aradella Stark's coming of age is surrounded and supported by story chapters that enrich the sense of her emerging from a strongly imagized particular place and community and family. Her own intelligence and compassion, discerned and brought into bloom by a church pastor who links her to work and college in Atlanta, make possible her eventual doctoral education and her return to reclaim her roots. Despite the absence of cultural advantages known to city dwellers, what was not absent from her youth were the alternating tragic and comic motifs found in the best Southern fiction tradition, designed to bring to the reader deep engagement and moments of great delight.
