"Mourning in the Mountains" My compliments to David Chaltas. This book is heartfelt and very enduring to those who have lost a loved one. It truly reflects on Eastern Kentucky's customs and the closeness of family even through death. I recommend it for anyone who may be dealing with grief of a loved one's passing because it lets the reader know grief and mourning is a natural process we all face at sometime in our lives. Thank you David for allowing some of our dreams to come true. I was overcome with such joy in seeing my mother's poems in this book that I wept with pride for she never believed her works were ever good enough to be published but she always hoped at least one would. I only wish she could have been here to see it happen. May God bless and thanks again. Shawana Slone
