Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Russell Gilley, a hillbilly born and reared in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, is desperate to join the army to fight the Nazis. He persuades his mother, Oda, to sign the papers required to allow him to enlist even though he is under age. She does so with great trepidation, remembering her brother-in-law who lost his life to mustard gas in World War I. Russ arrives in Belgium in time to fight in the Battle of the Bulge at Elsenborn Ridge with the 99th Army Division. He earns both a Bronze Medal and a Purple Heart before losing his life. Oda is presented with The Gold Star--the medal well known to mothers of soldiers during that time.Damn Right It Hurts is about the life--and death--of Russell Gilley, a hillbilly who grew up in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains and who, in 1944, desperately wanted to enlist in the army. The story is told in a series of flashbacks as Russ lies near death in an army hospital reliving his life through blurry dreams. After his death, the story continues as his mother, Oda, attempts to deal with her grief at the loss of her favored son and questions her decision to sign the papers required for Russ to join the army.Author Wade Gilley was six years old and living with his 'Granny Oda' in a home near Fries, Virginia when, in January of 1945, two army officers delivered the notice about Russ. In the years that followed, Wade was a witness to his grandmother's anguish and grief.Yet Damn Right It Hurts is more than just the story of the Gilley family. It is an insider's moving and intimate glimpse into the lives of the Scots-Irish people who populated Virginia's Appalachian Mountains during the Great Depression.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Foy's WorldThis story grew out of many childhood memories growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains where Wade Gilley was born. Wade has previously written two memoirs about two central figures in his life: his mother Forest Gilley, Life Before Sister, and his grandmother Oda Gilley, Damn Right It Hurts. Foy's World is his first effort to write fiction. This story is primarily told through a series of conversations between a 45-year old grandmother, Sophia 'Sophie' Robinson, and her 10-year old grandson, McFoy or 'Foy' Robinson while sitting on the front porch of a deteriorating family home opposite a gushing mountain waterfall named Shining Springs. Two questions are central in this story: First, Foy is obsessed with who he is, as an older cousin named Clyde has not so slyly called him 'Colored.' Ongoing discussions provide insight into the mountain culture of the time as Sophie and Foy, with the occasional unscheduled assistance of Foy's five year old sister, Rose Robinson, discuss the life and times as well as debate his origins sitting on that front porch looking at the waterfall. Then, a murder occurs at the local movie theater and that story becomes intertwined with the continuing discussion of Foy's origins and life itself.A third and central character in this story, Rob 'Whiskers' Goins, is arrested, tried and convicted for murder only to escape when some of his relatives shoot up the courthouse and succeed in setting him free. During the ensuing national manhunt, Goins emerges in the front porch discussions as a 'non-church' Jew who just might be related to Foy. Needless to say the times, language and culture are intertwined throughout the book and provide insight into a hardscrabble life of a proud mountain culture in the 1930s. …
