In the mountain hollows of Tennessee, the newly arrived "girls" — young, suburban women from 15 states-supported each other, learning country ways and how to produce their own water, warmthand food. Fleeing urban consumer culture and the social strife of the 1970s, they learned from the locals, became strong womenand formed a lasting community.
