Stories range from nostalgia, to humor, to amateur sleuth mysteries. Some have won multi-awards; most have been published in national magazines and local newspapers.  \u003cp\u003eThree have even gone beyond simply winning a contest. For instance, the Dana Literary Society nominated \u003ci\u003eCountry Girl \u003c\/i\u003e for the prestigious Pushcart Prize. And the essay \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Miracle, \u003c\/i\u003e which is a true story based on my personal life, was chosen as an entry in the Cup of Comfort Christmas Book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poem \u003ci\u003eEldorado \u003c\/i\u003e was written while visiting Ripley, WV, a small town from which many of us came, and to where a lot of us yearn to return. An officer of the state's poetry society showed my poem to the mayor who then read it into the Minutes of the city meeting. As a result, my poem now resides in the town record. So, in a way, I have returned. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLastly, I hope \u003ci\u003eCountry Girl \u003c\/i\u003e makes your heart laugh out loud and, perhaps, drop a tear or two. If nothing else, I pray that this book will help you to remember me with fondness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carrillee Collins Burke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595458912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595458912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Carrillee Collins Burke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435567067391,"sku":"9780595458912","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b826b57-14df-4aa0-9628-031620e4eaf7.jpg?v=1777151235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/country-girl-carrillee-collins-burke-9780595458912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
