Description
xOriginally published in 1989, this Gnomon Press edition was released in 1996.
In Newfound, Jim Wayne Miller offers a lyrical, plain-spoken coming-of-age story set in Appalachian Tennessee. In episodic vignettes, young Robert navigates his parents' divorce, life on his grandparents' farms, and seasonal rhythms. By age seventeen he leaves Newfound Creek for Berea College, shaped by family lore and hard-won lessons. In 1993 Miller published a sequel: His First, Best Country.
