Russell Springs | Rex Perry

by Rex Perry
Eallena McKinley hangs the days washing out to dry on a sunny day in Eli, Ky. Eli is a small town northeast of Jamestown that survives by being the last stop for bait for fishermen launching from the alligator boat dock nearby. McKinley lived her entire life in Eli and married another Eli resident. Her husband, Earnest McKinley is the county coroner.
