Township

by Jamie Lyn Smith

Overview

Set in Appalachian Ohio, Jamie Lyn Smith's debut short story collection,

Township, explores a region and the rotating cast of characters who call it home.

With honesty and empathy, Smith closely examines the strains that intimate

family ties put on lives worn raw by collective history. Ultimately, the nine

stories in Township interrogate the notion of reconciliation, examining whether

people can truly change and if forgiveness is possible.
