On Agate Hill
A theatrical performance of this year's One Book One Columbia selection, On Agate Hill. Performed by Barbara Bates Smith. A dusty box discovered in the wreckage of a once prosperous plantation on Agate Hill in North Carolina contains the remnants of an extraordinary life: diaries, letters, poems, songs, newspaper clippings, court records, marbles, rocks, dolls, and bones. It's through these treasured mementos that we meet Molly Petree.
