Title: Sometimes You Want a Book to Take You to Another Time and Place
Review: The book does what the title says; it turns back time to take you to a depression-era coal-mining town in rural America. The language and style threw me at first, until I settled in to this slightly-educated community where just going to work was a matter of life and death. I am partial to stories about coal-mining towns because my beloved step-mother's father helped found the coal-miner's unions in America in the early 1900s. I grew up hearing how hard life was in a coal-mining town and for a coal-miner's family. This book let me take a peek inside that world and find a story of love and redemption along the way.
