Step into the rich literary heritage of Fayette County in this special episode of Fayette Footprints. Join me as I sit down with Mark Wallace Maguire for an engaging conversation celebrating three towering figures who put our county on the literary map: beloved novelist Ferrol Sams, celebrated children's author Robert Burch, and passionate educator and advocate Kemie Nix.
