About this item

From growing up in the mountains of West Virginia to running iconic Moss Tents on the coast of Maine, Marilyn Moss Rockefeller's life has been one long adventure. Her childhood may read like a sad country song, but heartbreak and pain only fueled her determination to grab the world by the harness and ride with a dynamic combination of guts, luck, charm, and intellect. Mountain Girl is an inspiring and poignant story that shows how grit and soul can take a person from barefoot in Appalachia to the boardrooms of industry without losing that special something or selling out. In her own words, Rockefeller writes about a fascinating life that has been well-lived and a hoot to boot.
