The House That Built Me
Eastern Kentucky was author Nina L. Cornett Gosser’s home for almost the first eleven years of her life. That was long enough for the beautiful mountains to have built her. The mountains are in her blood and will be who she is for the rest of her life. In The House That Built Me, Gosser shares the story of the journey that made her who she is today and brought her to this time and place. In this memoir, she narrates the history of her large, poor family and how they found the love, safety, and comfort the Appalachian Mountains offered. This family’s story illustrates how survival and thriving are possible with the power of a strong mother, hard work, and, most of all, the power of God. The House That Built Me harkens back to when times were simple but hard, chronicling the story of a single mother raising twelve children with no income source in an extremely harsh environment.

Death, Money and the Vultures (Routledge Revivals)
By the latter half of the seventeenth century, the practice of drawing up a will had become commonplace, and people were increasingly encouraged to set down their final wishes in a ‘last will and testament’. Although intended to clarify ownership, these documents often provoked conflict amongst those who had survived the testator. As John Addy shows in this study, first published in 1992, where there was a will, there were relatives. Drawing on a large corpus of contemporary evidence, this survey analyses numerous cases of the family disputes that arose from wills, to form a picture of the attitudes and priorities possessed by those who contested them. This was one of the first studies to use contested-will material, and remains of great value to students of early modern history, sociology and genealogy, as well as general readers with an interest in local history.
