Written as a companion piece to a gallery show of embroidered imagery and writing by author Jackie Mantey, "Gone, Country" weaves together essays, stories, prose, and art about life lived straddling the middle of today's rural/ urban divide. The book is broken into four themes--Home, Faith, Hope, and Love--all representative of words we often use (or hang on our walls) but less often consider as experiences weighty with nuance and varied by choice. With a mix of humor, grief, and honesty, "Gone, Country" explores creative nonfiction's memoir potential while reflecting one American country-girl-cum-city-woman's search for a place to land and effort to bridge an identity inspired by seemingly opposed forces.
