"In one of my earliest memories, I’m shrinking. I’m in the back seat of my parents’ car, face pressed against the window, straining to see the peaks of the mountains outside..." Read an excerpt of ALL THAT'S UNSEEN by Emilee Hackney in @lithub. https://t.co/cfxH5pOf87

[penguinpress @penguinpress]

Emilee Hackney, the debut author of ALL THAT'S UNSEEN, sat down with @RealAmnaNawaz on @NewsHour to discuss her new book and the wider nation's misconceptions about Appalachia.

Appalachia is more than a "stereotype," says author Emilee Hackney.

"I would like for people to understand that Appalachia is not just one thing," Hackney told PBS News' @RealAmnaNawaz. "It's not just the stereotype in your head, and there can be a lot of different experiences of what Appalachia is based on."

Hackney grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of southwest Virginia.

In her memoir, "All That's Unseen: An Appalachian Memoir," she talks about growing up in the region and trying to reconcile with it ever since she left. She joined Amna Nawaz for the latest episode of PBS News' podcast, Settle In, to discuss her book and more.
