the author at her beloved Grace Farm
the renovated corn crib
the historic farmhouse
"Harry McCarty Road is a dirt
road in north Georgia right at
the toe of the Appalachian
mountain range.
Our road splits an old farm in
two, an acreage of tall pines
and oaks surrounding a cluster
of weathered wood buildings.
We call it Grace Farm.
After a lifetime of moving,
I came here to write and to
teach and to muscle my land
back to health.
Living here nearly killed me.
But that's nothing new, for me
or for old farms like mine."
