From The Porch 
By: Linda L. Hogans, Ph.D.
Illustrated by: Anna-Maria Crum

From the Porch is rooted in a place of antiquity, resounding a message of hope and overcoming in a culture of social and economic marginalization. Its southern dialect in fiction binds the experiences of the late-1800s to the mid-1900s that are revealing for today’s culture.

The book is the inaugural work of Dr. Linda Hogans, who draws from the roots of ancestral storytelling and word-weaving.
