"Homeplace" by Anne Shelby tells the poignant story of a family and their deep-rooted connection to the land they inhabit in rural Tennessee. As they navigate personal and societal challenges, the characters reflect on their histories, relationships, and the changing world around them. The narrative explores themes of identity, belonging, and resilience, emphasizing the importance of home, both as a physical space and an emotional refuge. Through beautifully crafted prose, Shelby paints a vivid picture of life in the Appalachian region, capturing the struggles and joys of a family determined to hold onto their heritage amidst modern upheaval.
