Rice is an Appalachian man who spent his whole life working as a timber cutter. He never traveled far from home. He speaks about his life with deep honesty and grace.

Memorable quotes:
“Being intelligent is one thing. Being schooled is another.”
“What you consider horrible for me may be just day-to-day.”
