This dazzling memoir has the same power.

The narrative moves from the sober industriousness of a Kentucky farm to the hippie lifestyle of the countercultural 1960s; from a New York fan magazine to the shock-therapy ward of a mental institution; from a county poorhouse to the set of a Hollywood movie. In the process of recounting her own odyssey--the story of an isolated girl who dreamed of distant places--Mason depicts the changes that have come to family, to women, and to heartland America in the twentieth century. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eClear Springs\u003c\/em\u003e is a heartfelt portrait of an extended family, and a profound affirmation of the importance of family love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople love and remember the novels of Bobbie Ann Mason because they ring so true.
