Georgia Author to Speak at Tucker Library

Georgia author Barbara Woodall will be speaking at the on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 11:00 to 12:00 in the Story Room.

Her book, It's Not My Mountain Anymore, tells of her life growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia and the changes that have come from development of the area. 

"The book chronicles the influences and transitions of births, deaths, marriage, and the challenge of economic conditions," Woodhall says on her website. "It looks at the tremendous social upheavals that have brought land development and the heart-wrenching issues of drug abuse and family breakdown into collision with old standards of character and moral responsibility right here in the community where I was born."

Woodhall graduated from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in 1973 and worked with Foxfire.
