520 2 "Riding on Comets is the true story of an only child
growing up in a working-class family during the 1950s and
'60s. As the family storyteller, Cat Pleska whispers and
shouts about her life growing up around savvy, strong
women and hard-working, hard-drinking men. Unlike many
family stories set within Appalachia, this story provides
an uncommon glimpse into this region: not coal, but an
aluminum plant; not hollers, but small-town America; not
hillbillies, but a hard-working family with traditional
values. From the dinner table, to the back porch, to the
sprawling countryside, Cat Pleska reveals the sometimes
tender, sometimes frightening education of a child who
listens at the knees of these giants. She mimics and
learns every nuance, every rhythm--how they laugh, smoke,
cuss, fight, love, and tell stories--as she unwittingly
prepares to carry their tales forward, their words and
actions forever etched in her mind. And finally, she
discovers a life story of her own"--|cProvided by
