The stories were crafted during a summer program of the Partnership for Appalachian Girls’ Education (PAGE) for girls in grades 6 through 9.

They chronicle an array of experiences, from the life-altering like navigating foster care or accepting a loved-one’s disability to an everyday story about making the perfect doughnut.The series aired during All Things Considered September 18-22 on WUNC.About PAGEPAGE is a collaboration between Madison County Public Schools and Duke University.
