«Proudly Made: A Story of Reinvention in the Big Woods and Small Towns of the Pennsylvania Wilds» is Tataboline Enos's memoir about rural revitalization in the Pennsylvania Wilds, published by Catamount Press in hardcover (264 pages, in English).
The author, a journalist and mother who returns to her roots in the Appalachians of Pennsylvania, recounts how the region moved from population decline to driving an economy based on outdoor recreation and nature tourism over two decades. The book combines her personal journey of leadership and overcoming insecurities with the collective work of communities that leverage their natural resources, public lands, and local talent to reinvent themselves and build a sustainable future.
The work was recognized with a silver award from The Nonfiction Book Awards. The Pennsylvania Wilds movement was highlighted by the Society of American Travel Writers in 2008 for its scale and level of strategic thinking.
For readers interested in memoirs, women's leadership, rural development, conservation, and the nature tourism economy in the United States.
