Author Nancy Withington Bell shares rich authentic stories from 24 women who bravely made a move to a new region. In the mountain hollows of Tennessee, the newly arrived "girls"-young, suburban women from 15 states-supported each other, learning country ways and how to produce their own water, warmth, and food. Fleeing urban consumer culture and the social strife of the 1970s, they learned from the locals, became strong women, and formed a lasting community.

Reading these stories, you will laugh, cry and share their raw emotions as they grow as a community.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author shows the same appreciation, perseverance, and resourcefulness as the women who made their various ways to Clinch Mountain. With no academic position for external support or rewards, yet with an internal advantage as one of the 'girls, ' she conducted a perennial oral history project. -en like a scholar, she organized transcriptions into priceless chapters." Randall A. Wells, PH.D.

Former Director of the Horry County Oral History Project Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Coastal Carolina University

Author of Swamp, Strand, & Steamboat: Voices of Horry County, SC, 1732-1954 and Old Times in Horry County: A Narrative History


"If you think environmental activism and political disaffection are something new, this is the book for you. In the 1970s, twenty-four women moved to the hills of Eastern Tennessee to homestead. This is their detailed and moving story of trials and joys and, above all, the importance of community." Jo Allison, Author of The Julia Nye Mystery Series and Storied and Scandalous St. Louis: A History of Breweries, Baseball, Prejudice, and Protest

Emory & Henry College Professor Emerita

5.0 out of 5 stars Stories, Memoirs of Women who lived Tennessee
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2023

I enjoyed reading the simple stories of these women who experienced living in Clinch Mountain. The book covers the ladies backgrounds, how they lived: childbearing, gathering food, making food, worship, lodging. Living without as we often call necessities. These are strong women many who had gone to college thrived in this beautiful part of Tennessee.

What a wonderful break from the troubles of today. Such a great read for those that didn’t grow up “over the mountain.” And as someone who did, I now feel like I own a missing part of my childhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneering in Tennessee
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023
Reading this book has been my intro to the actual Clinch Mountain Girls, empowered women, whose grit and love of their land is a clarion call to the rest of us--particularly to more town-centered women of the same era: of the needs and hopes women especially grew up with, after the Cold War years, into the rush of Civil Rights and Anti-War activism in the 60s, thence into our floundering in the 70s--unless we were part of alternative lifestyles, like the Clinch Mountain Girls'. These women's stories prove to me that we do have a legacy that rings true in Appalachia. Thank you, Nancy Bell, for writing it all up!
