Rough Lumber ~ Stories from Spurlock Creek
Author Justine Rutherford grew up on a farm in Spurlock Creek, West Virginia. This book is an autobiography written from memories of a bygone era, a story of growing up in Appalachia during the Depression. She says in the Introduction, "Memories are wonderful things. Some cut like a knife and others bring a soothing balm to the soul. Whatever type they are, our memories are with us all of our days and surround us like a cocoon until only by death we are parted." Read about memories filled with a mixture of harshness of the times along with humor, joy, and love.
