--Debra Gwartney, author of I Am a Stranger Here Myself
A young South Asian American woman's story of reconnecting with her identity, family, and heritage through sustainable farming
Jaclyn Moyer grew up in northern California's Sierra Foothills. Her nonfiction has appeared in The Atlantic, High Country News, Salon, Guernica, Orion, Ninth Letter, and other publications. She has been a Fishtrap Fellow, a Sozopol Literary Seminars Fellow, and a finalist for the PEN/Fusion Emerging Writers Prize. She has worked as a vegetable farmer, bread baker, teacher, and native seed collector. Moyer lives with her partner and 2 young children in Corvallis, Oregon.
"Legacies of land and family reach across generations and continents in Jaclyn Moyer's compelling more-than-memoir On Gold Hill. You will never bite into a piece of bread or visit your local farmers' market in quite the same way again."
--Meera Subramanian, author of A River Runs Again: India's Natural World in Crisis, from the Barren Cliffs of Rajasthan to the Farmlands of Karnataka
