My Pee Dee River Hills a Remembered Place

In 1919, Henry Chase, a sharecropper in Union County, North Carolina, had his best year growing cotton. He used his profits to pursue a life-long dream. Drawn by glowing advertisements promising the good life & a land of plenty, he bought, sight unseen, a farm near the Pee Dee River in North Carolina's Sanndhills. Reality turned out to be a dilapidated, century-old farmhouse with a leaking roof, nestled on scraggly land stripped of its timber & overgrown with briers & brambles. But he & his family settled in to scratch out a life for themselves. Theirs became a story not only of struggle & perseverance but of love & dedication, hope & joy. In this touching, funny book, burbling with the irrepressible human spirit, Chris Florance relives her youth & preserves a time & place as few others ever have.Florance, Chris is the author of 'My Pee Dee River Hills a Remembered Place' with ISBN 9781878086419 and ISBN 1878086413.
