Close to Home: Revelations and Reminiscences by North Carolina Authors by Lee H. Child (Editor); 1996. Hardcover. (CO-NC)

Twenty-one N.C. authors write original essays about what home means to them.

What unites the authors in Close to Home is a "willingness to be intimate" about home, a willingness "to tell us what they know of that place and how it makes them feel." Their essays are sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always insightful -- but never predictable.
