Description
by Curt Iles (Author)
"They say places like Dry Creek no longer exist."
In Where I Come From, Curt Iles takes readers on a memorable journey to his beloved Dry Creek, Louisiana home.
In his fourteenth book, Iles shares over sixty short stories celebrating the rural culture, history, and people of the Louisiana Pineywoods.
Written in the warm style loved by his readers, Curt writes in a resonant voice that elicits laughter and tears, often in the same story.
Part travelogue, history book, social commentary, and chock full of memorable tales, Where I Come From is a book readers will find difficult to put down.
No matter where these stories start, they invariably end up/return to his beloved Dry Creek home.
"I'm from the Pineywoods of western Louisiana. My ancestors began arriving in the 'No Man's Land' area when Louisiana became a state in 1812. They carved homesteads from the vast longleaf pine forests and made it their home. I still own some of that land in Dry Creek, and my calling is to share stories passed down through these generations.
"I'm just as interested in today's Pineywoods and its cast of memorable characters and heartwarming stories. "Where I Come From is about a love of the land, respect for history, and stories about a unique culture I love.
"It's my love letter to the land I call home. It's where I come from."
Curt Iles shares the joys and challenges of growing up amidst four generations of family in a centuries-old log house known as The Old House. All his stories boil down to relationships, and Curt's stories are a reminder that relationships are the only things that really matter.
Pull up a rocker on the dogtrot porch of The Old House at the edge of Crooked Bayou Swamp, where memorable stories and life lessons await.
