EPIC Carteret Books
A Planck Length Publishing Imprint for Place-Based Storytelling
Upcoming Release: A Spork in the Road by Emily Carter
A debut collection of essays that blend humor and insight in a journey that’s equal parts soul food and storytelling.
Emily Carter’s A Spork in the Road will warm your heart, feed your soul and flat-out make you a better person. It just will. A funny, wise, loving joyride through Carter’s life in the rural South, this remarkable memoir benefits from the author’s fearless ability to steer the conversation to deeper waters just when you least expect it. Think Anne Lamott with less Bay Area and more livermush. In other words: perfection.
