Summary

 The foundation of a good story begins with a nugget of truth. With a shift of light and shadow, a focus on a detail, a blurring of lines... the storyteller remembers it better. From his home in Asheville surrounded by beautiful mountains, author D. K. Wall shares his stories—thoughtful reflections and original tales drawn from a lifetime in the Carolinas and Tennessee. They all have one thing in common: They're 100% true... except for the parts he makes up. Join author D.K.
