The Joy Document

“This delightful book of essays is infused with wisdom and light. McGaha's style, forged from her Appalachian roots, the music that fuels her forest runs, and a lifetime shared with beloved family and animals-- goats, dogs, opossum, and deer--brings to mind the work of Brian Doyle, Anne Lamott and Margaret Renkl. Humor, wordplay, and honest asides pepper the pages. The Joy Document challenges each of us to look for beauty and kindness in what surrounds and perhaps confronts us. For me, reading it was soul medicine.”
