Publisher's Synopsis
The stories in Up the Wooden Hill are fiction, but they are based on real happenings, pieced together from the author's experiences and those told to her by others. Even the title story, according to the author, may be considered fictionalized memoir, based as it is on fading recollections of events that occurred over seventy years ago. "One of my writing instructors told me that memoirs usually are fictionalized, since someone is sure to tell you that she remembers an incident differently," Nancy says.
