Title: A charming and inspiring story!
Review: This endearing memoir of a NASA engineer recalls life in Coalwood, a small West Virginia coal mining town, during the author's high school years of the late 1950's. It captures the essence of youth complete with sibling rivalry, mischief, and the quest for knowledge of how things work--the hallmark of young boys. In addition, the description of Coalwood brings to life the meaning of growing up in a small mining town--its sights, smells, and sounds. It teaches adults a great lesson--that of guiding youth to follow their passions and of encouraging them along the way. Its message is for the average guy--not the most popular or wealthy one--suggesting that ideas can be the key to the path of success in life. This is especially wonderful reading for any high school student with unconventional ideas or for any teacher who hopes to make a difference in a student's life.
