For generations the Millers have lived in Miller's Valley. Mimi Miller tells about her life with intimacy and honesty. As Mimi eavesdrops on her parents and quietly observes the people around her, she discovers more and more about the toxicity of family secrets, the dangers of gossip, the flaws of marriage, the inequalities of friendship and the risks of passion, loyalty, and love. Home, as Mimi begins to realize, can be "a place where it's just as easy to feel lost as it is to feel content." Miller's Valley is a masterly study of family, memory, loss, and, ultimately, discovery, of finding true identity and a new vision of home. As Mimi says, "No one ever leaves the town where they grew up, even if they go." Miller's Valley reminds us that the place where you grew up can disappear, and the people in it too, but all will live on in your heart forever. 500 $a Includes a reader's guide with questions and topics for discussion. 650 0 $a Girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Place attachment $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family farms $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farm life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Eminent domain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Pennsylvania $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Filles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Attachement aÌ un lieu $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Exploitations agricoles familiales $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Vie aÌ la ferme $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Secrets de famille $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Pennsylvanie $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Eminent domain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908749 650 7 $a Family farms. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920335 650 7 $a Family secrets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737651 650 7 $a Farm life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921052 650 7 $a Girls. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942866 650 7 $a Place attachment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743268 651 7 $a Pennsylvania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204598 $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJwmQkJKC3ppCRd8PKBpT3 655 4 $a General fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240129100404.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DED25A6BEAF11EEA36E4455183FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
