I enjoyed this collection of personal essays about West Virginia. Author Laura Jackson is a West Virginia native and writes lovingly about her home state. She covers many topics, but primarily the flora, fauna, and geography of the state. Chapters address copperhead snakes, opossums, dogs, the red spruce, country roads, topography, and much more. With an easy prose, Jackson gives the reader a good understanding of what makes West Virginia special, but without denying or overstating its problems.
