Brenda Crissman Musick is truly a product of her Appalachian environment, loving everything about it...nature, peace, the people. Most of all, she loves writing about it and talking about it. It is easy
to see her love for the hills and hollows of the region in the story of the Swank family, first in One-Eyed Tom, then in A Place to Belong, and especially now in her last novel of the trilogy, To Everything There is a Season. She is also the author of an illustrated children’s book, The Dolls on the Old Stairway.
