Clay's Quilt (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
- First Ballantine Books Edition
â€œA YOUNG WRITER OF IMMENSE GIFTS . . . One of the best books I have ever read about contemporary life in the mountains of southern Appalachia. . . . I could see and feel Free Creek, and the mountain above it.â€
â€“LEE SMITH

After his mother is killed, four-year-old Clay Sizemore finds himself alone in a small Appalachian mining town. At first, unsure of Free Creek, he slowly learns to lean on its residents as family. Thereâ€™s Aunt Easter, who is always filled with a sense of foreboding, bound to her faith above all; quiltmaking Uncle Paul; untamable Evangeline; and Alma, the fiddler whose song wends it way into Clayâ€™s heart. Together, they help Clay fashion a quilt of a life from what treasured pieces surround him. . . .

â€œA long love poem to the hills of Kentucky. It flows with Appalachian music, religion, and that certain knowledge that your people will always hold you close. . . . Like the finely stitched quilts that Clayâ€™s Uncle Paul labors over, the author sews a flawless seam of folks who love their home and each other.â€
â€“Southern Living

â€œUnpretentious and clear-eyed . . . A tale whose joys are as legitimate as its sorrows.â€
â€“The Roanoke Times
