    Why We're Telling Stories

    "Why We're Telling Stories" Explains the heart of this porch project. Amy shares how her own people came to Virginia as servants, exiles, and seekers, and why she believes every ordinary life deserves to be remembered. from moonshiners to preachers, pioneers to boogeymen, these stories aren't sugarcoated, just honest, human, and worth telling before they disappear.
