I Used to Live Here Caleb Gave Mathis

It took a decade for Lexington, Kentucky, to become home. Caleb Gave Mathis was only planning on passing through when he arrived as a timid college freshman. But little by little, the city moved into his heart. And it built a home there. Every experience a brick; every memory mortar. In this collection of thirteen autobiographical short stories, Caleb Gave Mathis reflects on ten years spent in Lexington, Kentucky - the good and the bad, the healing and the hurtful, the joy and the tears. And in so doing, explores the effect place has on creating us. Men may build cities... but the cities always return the favor.
