The last book Giles published before her death in 1979, Wellspring has
been out of print for years. The nineteen selections bring together
Giles's fiction, nonfiction, autobiography, and fictionalized
autobiography to reveal a behind-the-scenes look at her life, her
family, her love for her adopted state of Kentucky and its people, her
politics, her favorite authors, her thoughts on writing, and her views
of her own work. Wellspring is available again for old and new readers
