Everyone knows that she is destined to leave town and do great things.
And she does.
But no one expects her return; drawn back home by some sort of memory, as if the current that had taken her away had changed its mind...

Recenzii
"The closest thing to reading this would be reading Madame Bovary while listening to Loretta Lynn."
"Black Mountain Breakdown is like a country song. It is true and real; it is loving and sad."
