I am from a small town with big dreams. I am from Harlan County, from Grays Knob. I am from my grandparents, from Lynn and Harvey. I am from family and reunions. From chocolate gravy and homemade biscuits. I am from early Sunday mornings and late Wednesday nights. I am from the sunflowers, the dandelions. I am from forgiveness and happiness. From work and independence. I am from “You’ll have everything” to having nothing.
