SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: Daughters of Green Mountain Gap
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nDaughters of Green Mountain Gap by Teri M. Brown\nFiction. An Appalachian granny woman. A daughter on a crusade. A granddaughter caught between the two. Maggie McCoury\, a generational healer woman\, relies on family traditions\, folklore\, and beliefs gleaned from a local Cherokee tribe. Her daughter\, Carrie Ann\, believes her university training holds the answers. As they clash over the use of roots\, herbs\, and a dash of mountain magic versus the medicine available in the town’s apothecary\, Josie Mae doesn’t know whom to follow. But what happens when neither family traditions nor science can save the ones you love most? Daughters of Green Mountain Gap weaves a compelling tale of Maggie\, Carrie Ann\, and Josie Mae\, three generations of remarkable North Carolina women living at the turn of the\ntwentieth century\, shedding light on racism\, fear of change\, loss of traditions\, and the intricate dynamics within a family. Author Teri M. Brown skillfully navigates the complexities of their lives\, revealing that some questions are not as easy to answer as one might think. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of Daughters of Green Mountain Gap. Books are available upon request starting September 1st. \nWatch NC Humanities’ recorded book event with author Teri M. Brown and historian Dr. Jessie Wilkerson in a conversation moderated by Dr. Rebecca Godwin.
