Presented here with two previously unpublished short stories, For Dear Life, edited by Virginia Pruitt and Howard Faulkner, will appeal to those interested in women's studies, social history, and American studies, as well as to anyone who enjoys quality fiction. 606 $aRural families$vFiction 606 $aPoor families$vFiction 606 $aPoor women$vFiction 606 $aNurses$vFiction 607 $aNorth Carolina$vFiction 608 $aAutobiographical fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aDomestic fiction.$2lcsh 608 $aBildungsromans.$2gsafd 615 0$aRural families 615 0$aPoor families 615 0$aPoor women 615 0$aNurses 676 $a813/.52 700 $aJelliffe$b Belinda$f1890-1979.$01869718 701 $aPruitt$b Virginia D.$f1943-$01869719 701 $aFaulkner$b Howard J.$f1945-$01869720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961865903321 996 $aFor dear life and selected short stories$94477946 997 $aUNINA
