Southern Illinois Storytellers – Stephanie Plumlee

Meet Stephanie Plumlee, author of Out of the Pickle Jar. This deeply personal memoir chronicles the journey of two siblings growing up in a turbulent, dysfunctional environment shaped by addiction, poverty, and the instability of a broken home. Through raw and vivid memories, the author recounts a childhood marked by the struggles of survival—navigating the chaos of a mother lost to alcoholism, an absent father, and a revolving door of unstable caretakers.
