"Brenda Kay Ledford's book, Beckoning, is a wonderful collection of poetry about her Southern Appalachian roots.... Her poetry sings with color and harmony. Many poems depict rural scenes that speak to the senses. Brenda captures her culture with the love of generations. You'll feel, see, hear, and taste the beauty of nature in her verse. This collection is important to remind us where we came from and how the past is still relevant."
—Randy Wright
