Remembering My Life in the Hills of Kentucky Bertha Lee

Bert is a young girl growing up in the hills of Kentucky in the 1930s. With a coalminer father and a midwife mother life was never boring or easy, but with the love of her family anything is possible. When the family falls victim to injuries, illness, and a family death that all falls apart. She goes from having a poor happy family to a well off miserable family almost overnight. She starts to feel more like a slave than a daughter, never really fitting in to her new life. All she wants is a place to belong, but does she have to run away from home to fine it?
