In this debut hybrid collection, a comforting voice winds through a web of memory. Part fiction, part memoir, Anchored gathers a chorus of Southern neighbors from pockets of rural America. Throughout these stories of potlucks, heartbreaks, and family bonds, Katy Goforth weaves an enchanted thread that reminds us how the people who shape us continue to share in the things that keep us home.

Praise for Anchored

“Katy Goforth’s voice in Anchored is so authentic and sensual, and her characters so well told you can smell them, that her stories will take you back to a memory you never had. But you’d swear you lived it. In other words, Anchored does exactly what good storytelling should do. Goforth’s collection is an achievement.”

—Adam Van Winkle, author of Dylan Quick is a Dairy Queen Don Quixote and Editor-in-Chief of Cowboy Jamboree Press
