In this debut hybrid collection, a comforting voice winds through a web of memory. Part fiction, part memoir, Anchored gathers a chorus of southern neighbors from pockets of rural America. Throughout these stories of potlucks, heartbreaks, and family bonds, Katy Gofoth weaves an enchanted thread that reminds us how the people who shape us continue to share in the things that keep us home.
