But she is also passionate about conserving the richness and complexity of rural communities. In these short pieces--sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking--Ray chronicles her return to a hometown in need of repair, physical and otherwise, after seventeen years away. Whether celebrating local characters and traditions, like syrup boils and alligator trapping; fighting to save the town's school; or spending time with her extended family, Ray dares to hope that such fragments--once saved--can pattern a vibrant, sustainable future for both people and the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColorful and affectionate, \u003cem\u003eWild Cart Quilt\u003c\/em\u003e crafts a compelling argument for the possibilities of rural community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 8.5 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760513581344,"sku":"9781571312785","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7248e8ba6e3d0f1c9ea6f843f5319f26.webp?v=1780182030","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/wild-card-quilt-the-ecology-of-home-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
