Mountain News & World Report

This episode looks deeper into the struggle that many Appalachian people experience with wanting to remain in the place they came from to live, work, and raise their families. With fewer economic opportunities, many are choosing to leave the region they call home simply to find work. Yet, there's always the pull to face the struggle and stay home come hell or high water. West Virginia Public Broadcasting's Inside Appalachia, and the Ohio Valley ReSource with WMMT contribute to this episode. Additional music is "Oh Girl" by The Chi-Lites as played by Kentuckian Issac Boone Davis.
