Mary Standridge has been gone a month. I placed a book in the Pope County Library in her memory. I chose this memoir by an Appalachian mountain girl. Mary was a mountain girl from Newton County. “All That’s Unseen” is a refreshingly personal account of Emilee Hackney’s experiences growing up in rural Southwest Virginia. Her ancestors labored in the coal mines, but her father had a dogged resistance against living that life, and her mother had a reverence for literature. Most of all, her family had faith in God and that influenced her life.
