"Created as a companion volume to a 90-minute feature HBO documentary directed and produced by Rory Kennedy. American Hollow is a fascinating oral and visual history of the Bowling clan of Kentucky, a sympathetic and strength-giving portrait of love and kinship in the face of hard times. Iree Bowling, the clan's sixty-eight-year-old matriarch, is the narrator of the family's struggle against poverty.
Hanging steadfastly to their land, the Bowlings supplement their government checks by collecting bloodroot and ginseng. Photos from Bowling family albums, still images from the film, and extraordinarily powerful pictures of the Bowlings today by award-winning photojournalist Steve Lehman lend depth and texture to the story of an American family."--BOOK JACKET.
