"A charming and engrossing novel for fans of Southern fiction and the recent hit memoir Hillbilly Elegy about a lush and storied coal-mining town--and the good people who live there--in danger of being destroyed for the sake of profit. Will the truth about the town's past be its final undoing or its saving grace?" -- Tyndale.com.

1933. In the mining town of Beulah Mountain, West Virginia, despite the polarizing forces of their fathers-- one a mine owner, one a disgruntled miner-- Ruby and Bean thrive under the tender care of Bean's mama, blissfully unaware of the rising conflict in town and the coming tragedy that will tear them apart forever. 2004. Neighbors up and down the hollow have sold their land to Coleman Coal and Energy, but Hollis Beasley is determined to hold on to his family legacy on Beulah Mountain. Standing in his way is Buddy Coleman, an upstart mining executive who hopes to revitalize the dying town by increasing coal production and opening the Company Store Museum. Ruby Handley Freeman is a feisty octogenarian living hundreds of miles away, but she returns on journey to face a decades-old secret that will change everything for her and those she meets.
