With a Foreword by Wade Hall Miss Willie, first published in
1951, is part of Giles's Piney Ridge Trilogy. It tells the story of
an earnest teacher who moves to the hills of Kentucky to teach in a
one-room schoolhouse. Zealously, she tries to change the ways of
the stubborn and proud Appalachian people, but to no avail. They
listen to her ideas about sanitation and other foolishness because
to argue would be rude. But in the end they quietly go about their
accustomed ways. Ultimately Miss Willie realizes that the hill
customs have a beauty and dignity of their own and that some of her
efforts to reform them were ill-conceived. Her warmth, generosity,
and humor help her bridge the gap and find fulfillment in Piney
Ridge. This is a story of reconciliation and the coming together of
two different ways of life. Above all, it is a story of people and
of the land to which they belong.
