Exploring themes of aging, absence, and the silenced voices of women, this collection reflects on personal memories and cultural history. The poems elegize the author's girlhood and her mother's influence while addressing omissions in Appalachian narratives. Additionally, McLarney presents a unique series of poems that serve as caretaking instructions, extending her reflections to encompass the care of homes, animals, and the earth, ultimately weaving a tapestry of connection and responsibility.
