I'm going to have to check out Ruby's Holler. I love the cover. I can't imagine so many people not knowing what a holler is. I live in WV and grew up in a holler. My definition - a place where people (a lot of relatives and everyone knows everyone else) live along a winding road, accompanied by a creek. And this is all nestled between hills on both sides.

(Just in case Sharon reads this, "The Wanderer" is the first of yours I've read and remains the best I love.) What Sharon said about telling her main characters everything would be okay is also what I want to tell all my main characters, too. Great interview, Jess & Stephanie! I will check out 'Granny Torrelli Makes Soup' and 'Ruby Holler' soon.
