Brenda Kay Ledford's new book, "Leatherwood Falls, Blue Ridge Mountain Poems," has been released by Kelsay Books.
This book is a memoir of Ledford's brother, Harold Ledford, who passed away two years ago. He was a US Army veteran of Vietnam and a law enforcement officer in Clay County, NC for 30 years until his retirement.
According to Glenda C. Beall, North Carolina Writer's Network-West Program Coordinator, "Brenda Kay Ledford takes the reader on a mountain hike where she names the wildflowers, birds, through the eyes of her beloved brother. She takes us to childhood days and as he left for Vietnam. We see an ordinary man who is not ordinary in the eyes of his sister. Ledford writes in various poetic forms staying true to her task of honoring her brother. Like most mountain families, they are close and death will never end the love they share."
