Have you ever wondered what it’s like to find your place, like literally, on the floor, right in the heart of family stories?A Spot on the Floor is a book that takes you there. From a child’s-eye view, Brenda and her cousins found their 'spot on the floor,' as they would listen wide-eyed to the exciting and sometimes sad tales of the lives of a large extended family on West Virginia farms in the Appalachian Mountains.These are the stories that will make you laugh, ones that will make you gasp, and others that will linger in your heart long after you have closed the book. These are windows into the wild and bittersweet adventures of a family whose tales have been passed down, sometimes whispered and other time shouted over cookie crumbs and Kool-Aid!With seven stories inside, each one brings forth a part of the author’s family history, from Evie, a tiny girl fond of eggs, to Garland’s bravery, to Reba’s suffering, to Tim’s mule ride, to Jesse Dean’s revenge, to the hardships and triumphs that shaped Della, Josie, and Leah’s lives, to Archie’s fiery peppers prank.Get ready to settle onto the floor, eavesdrop on stories of past generations, and discover why some stories are truly worth the telling!
