Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Published in 1999 by Gnomon Press In The Balm of Gilead Tree, acclaimed author and poet Robert Morgan presents a masterful collection of seventeen short stories-ten new and seven selected from earlier volumes-that illuminate the lives of working-class people in the American South, particularly in the Appalachian region.
