Summary Meredith Sue Willis's "Out of the Mountains" is a collection of thirteen short stories set in contemporary Appalachia. Firmly grounded in place, the stories voyage out into the conflicting cultural identities that native Appalachians experience as they balance mainstream and mountain identities. This is not the mythic version of Appalachia, but the Appalachia of the twenty-first century.
