Background
 The Appalachian region is unique in both its geography
and culture. The mountains themselves are among the oldest and most beautiful
anywhere in the world, with dense forests of pine and abundant springs and
rivers. Originally a barrier to the "westward expansion" of early
immigrants within the US, it became the home to a large wave of Irish, Scottish
and English settlers, who brought many aspects of their culture along with
them. Due to the difficulty in traversing the terrain, the culture grew
and has retained many of its roots, including its music and art, as well
as a strong commitment to family and community. It is within this setting,
on the family farm near the tiny community of West Liberty, in the mountains
of Eastern Kentucky, that this story begins.
