Description
The nineteen selections that make up Wellspring, Janice Holt Giles's last published book before her death in 1979, are a microcosm of her large world. She brings together fiction, nonfiction, autobiography and fictionalized autobiography, revealing behind-the-scenes looks at her life, her family, her love for her adopted state of Kentucky and its people, her politics, her favorite authors, her thoughts on writing, and her views of her own work. Long out of print, Wellspring is available again for old and new readers of Janice Holt Giles.
