More Description"It is hard not to fall in love with the sensual, contemplative, sharp-eyed and often playful voice of Corrie Lynn White in her gutsy debut as she traverses the landscape of her personal history--its 'uneven ground' and its badass set of matriarchs--looking to chart her own 'narrow road' toward a complete and fulfilling life.
