Linda Behrend, now retired, was collection development librarian with the University of Tennessee Libraries. She is the editor of Armstrong's memoir Of Time and Knoxville: Fragment of an Autobiography, and her articles have appeared in Against the Grain, the Encyclopedia of Appalachia, and the New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture.

"Ivy Ingoldsby, the heroine of this novel, is a powerful depiction of one woman’s enduring strength and independence in the hard-scrabble world of Depression Appalachia. Armstrong is a gifted writer, most impressively in her vivid descriptions of the Appalachian landscape. A bonus to this new edition is Linda Behrend’s excellent introduction, which gives readers valuable insights into the novel’s history and continuing importance. Long out of print, This Day and Time is a significant contribution to our region’s literature." - Ron Rash, author of Serena and The Cove
