Clear Springs: A Memoir by Bobbie Ann Mason
Clear Springs is an autobiographical account of novelist Bobbie Ann Mason's growing up on a rural Kentucky farm. The book traces her own journey, leaving home and eventually returning. Along the way she paints a moving portrait of her parents who are firmly rooted in place.
She writes about her Kentucky home without a trace of the condescension that so often mars the work of writers who romanticize rural life while being utterly contemptuous of the values of the people who live there.
There is a small section of family photographs.
