Port William Hannah Coulter, (Paperback)

Wendell Berry weaves a story of a life lived in an out-of-the-way town in a simpler time. The main character reflects on her life - both the difficulties and the joys - in a way that emphasizes the characters and connections in her community rather than following a linear plot. I laughed. I cried. I was challenged to think deeply about my personal values in contrast to the hectic modern life we live. It's the kind of story that will have you looking at the map and genealogy in the back of the book to understand the area and the relationships.
