From the Inside Flap

"Both fable and mystery, Way Down Deep is simply irresistible, as plucky orphan Ruby June searches for the secret of her past, deeply entwined with an entire community worthy of Dickens. Funny, sweet, and filled with the heart s own truths, this is the best book yet from the queen of Appalachian storytelling."
