This is the story of cherished member of a large family at the end of the Hillbilly Highway. Gripping in its detail and vivid in its temporal (earthly) colors, this family member is eternal. She will never die. She will never leave us who are blessed to now know her. She will never take away the love that we all seek during our trials of heartbreak, hardship, grief, joy, fear and the quest for adventure. Our trials of innocence lost and our rewards for wisdom gained. Funny, but I never caught her name as I was reading. I only knew her as "The Creek". The bedrock of a remarkable story. And now she will be forever on my mind...- Len Tully
