Kentucky Tall
by Shirley Staggs

KENTUCKY TALL is a heartfelt, faith-filled journey through generations of life in small-town Kentucky, where people learned early how to stand strong, lean on God, and face hardship with quiet resilience. From sheltered childhoods rooted in church pews and family values, to adulthood shaped by changing towns, shifting morals, and growing hardship, Shirley Staggs tells a deeply personal story that mirrors the lives of many Appalachian families. This book explores marriage, motherhood, faith, loss, illness, and aging, while confronting difficult realities such as addiction, poverty, government dependency, and the erosion of once-close communities. In each chapter, readers witness how faith in God has always been the anchor during seasons of uncertainty, such as heart attacks, COVID-19, rising healthcare costs, and economic decline. As society changes and traditions fade, Kentucky Tall reflects on what has been lost, what remains, and what it truly means to stand firm when the world no longer feels familiar. Honest, reflective, and rooted in Christian faith, Kentucky Tall is a tribute to the strength of Kentucky people, the power of prayer, and the enduring hope that comes from trusting God, even when standing tall feels harder than ever.
