My Life in Brasstown Bright Mountain Books After the publication of her first book, My Journey to Appalachia: A Year at the Folk School, Eleanor Lambert Wilson was asked repeatedly, “What happened next?” My Life in Brasstown is the rest of the story—a more detailed account of her life, home, and community in Brasstown, North Carolina, through the forty years following 1942.
Reviews "...Wilson's fluid, bright story captures the final moments of the Folk School's life before World War II changed everything. Her writing makes you a companion on a journey through times and places astutely observed and beautifully described. It is a strong portrait of a time, a school, and a community. It also has a delightful subplot: 'Vassar girl finds true love with wisecracking mountaineer." "Imagine what life must have been like in the Appalachian Mountains in 1941, before the United States entered World War II... In her memoir, My Journey to Appalachia, Wilson takes us back to those days, and the sentimental road trip is worth traveling."
