Many of the younger generations leave such towns, finding both place and society crumbling. Those who?ve stayed are finding new and interesting ways to put themselves and their places back together. Both the short and long pieces herein are about the folks who?ve elected to stay generation after generation, knowing that for them wherever they?ve stayed is still the Home Place. The characters? viewpoints are personal, sometimes agreeing with facts found in history books and sometimes not.--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Small cities $z Texas, West $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farm life $z Texas, West $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Texas, West $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Texas, West $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, American $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Farm life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921052 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Short stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117064 650 7 $a Small cities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743749 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a Texas, West. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01222470 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Western stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 700 1 $a Untiedt, Kenneth L., $d 1966- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2004102527 700 1 $a Runnels, Scott, $d 1966- $e illustrator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015093143 830 0 $a Texas Folklore Society extra book ; $v no. 24. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010119054 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77F8018E071E11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
