The Harboring & other stories is a collection that weaves together the resiliency of Appalachian women—in fact, all women—as they meet their seemingly insurmountable challenges with grace, celebrate their joys, and find ways to resolve all that remains unresolved in their lives. Each story finds a connection with the others until "The Harboring" brings it to an unexpected crescendo.

When asked what inspired her to write her upcoming book, Jacobs explained, "Growing up and living every single day in the Appalachian region and watching Appalachian women meet their struggles head-on and find ways to persevere and move on with grace, dignity, and self-respect."

The Harboring & other stories is planned to be released in July 2025. Excited readers can secure their copy now by pre-ordering through Jan-Carol Publishing's online bookstore: https://jancarolpublishing.square.site/s/order?item=280#15.
