5.0 out of 5 stars My Nana's childhood, May 25, 2008
By 
bzy bzy (grand rapids, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Burnside (Paperback)
My Grandmother, Emma Bell (Vaughn) grew up in this town before it was intentionally flooded over. She is mentioned as the author's classmate and the daughter of my great grandfather, Reverand Bell (the author describes sitting distractedly trying to listento his sermons)...she doesn't mention his firey red hair or quote any of his sermons, but even though he had died before my birth in the late fifties, she gave me a true glimpse of my sweet Nana's childhood and her staunch but loving mountain country upbringing. She makes me think my great grandfather was kind but serious, thus backing up Nana's stories of a great man!

It is from the pages of this well written and easy to read book that I can envision my gently used old victorian furniture being donated to my great grandmother's household since she was the preacher's wife of The Christian Church in Burnside, Kentucky. I can imagine the hardships of moving all of their belongings out of the mountain town to dry land and a new house somewhere nearby.
