In Estuary, Barbary Chaapel writes about her family's experiences in Appalachia and Ohio, giving voice to a world and its people in poems that are at once gritty and lyrical, passionate and wise. This collection speaks to us about a region and a way of life, but also about our shared experiences of love, loss and the inevitable flow of time.

Her world, populated with cowboys and miners, with briders and widows, echoes the sentiments of Galatians, "Faith works only through love," (5:6).
- Dr. Mark Defoe, author of Weekend Update

"Like the movement of currents in bays where fresh river waters meet and mingle with salty seas, Barbary Chaapel's latest book of poetry, Estuary, twines earth with fire, blending the substance of our lives with imagery and mystery."
- Beryl Singleton Bissell, author of Scent of God
