Deb Gerace has been writing for youth as a way to hook kids’ interest in the classroom ever since she began teaching, many years ago. “What The Children Saw” is her first published-in-print book. She hopes to publish the full “A Kid’s Passion” soon, and has another e-book, “The Girl Who Galloped” for adolescents available on Amazon.com. Deb was the Artist-in-Residence at Glacier National Park in 2008 and her educational songs about the nature of the park can be found by Googling Glacier songs.

From the farms and pastures of the north Georgia mountains, where pine trees grow in the brick red clay, the tradition of storytelling is alive and well. As rustic as a barbed wire fence, as homey as a light in the window, In the Pines is a collection of stories and poems told in the voice of a vanishing people. Funny, poignant, and reminiscent of events and personalities familiar to us all, you will come away feeling that someone in the book reminds you of a person you know. This is not a book about the magnolia and cotillion south, but about the lives of Appalachian people who lived a hardscrabble life at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains. So, take a journey into the lives of the Appalachian people and listen to the characters tell their stories of joys and struggles, and everyday life in the mountains, in the pines.
