If You Lived Here You'd Be Home by Now
Abstract
This selection seeks to explore rural West Virginia and the cycles that plague it. From addiction, abuse, and poverty, through the lens of three generations of women from the family, each aspect is touched on. The themes of longing, loving, hating, wondering, and leaving embrace each other through the lives of the women and their bonds with each other.
