I am reading MyHome is Far Away by Dawn Powell. It is a family chronical set in early 1900s Ohio. When the author died in 1965 virtually all of her books were out of print but recently many of her books, diaries, letters and short stories have been reissued and she is finally getting the recognition she deserved with many of the other literary greats. I had never heard of this author before and picked this book up for 50 cents at a book sale. I am a quarter of the way through and it is great. this book is fiction but fairly semi-autobiographical.
