Dr. Grace Toney Edwards and Donia Eley were the guest speakers at the weekly meeting of the Radford Rotary Club on July 28. They discussed their creation of the book “Writers by the River: Reflections on 40+ Years of the Highland Summer Conference,” a collection of essays that reflect the history of the work of Appalachian writers who have attended this yearly gathering. The authors shared some readings from the book and provided an overview.
