Lynne’s Books

Looking Back At Charleston

Do you remember shopping at the Diamond Department Store, having lunch at the Quarrier Diner, hearing stories about Luna Park?

Charleston, the capital city of West Virginia, has grown in both size and population. Things long remembered have been repurposed, reinvented, or removed. Buildings no longer exist, streets have been renamed, downtown shopping shrank as malls and suburban shopping centers grew. What doesn’t change are the memories. Visit the old familiar places, through story and photographs.

Letters To My Son

A different perspective of Appalachian living during the mid 20th century years. Recounted stories for a son take the reader on a journey through the experiences of the urban population of Appalachia. No hogs butchered in the backyard, or outhouses to contend with; none of the stereotypes typically assumed of the Appalachian American.Sometimes humorous, occasionally poignant, and always on point, Letters to My Son – Reflections of Urban Appalachia at Mid-Century is a fascinating glimpse into perhaps the most mislabeled population in America.
