This was an amazing book with an amazing main character, Shae-Lynn. I could not put the book down. The author's narrative and description were flawless. I admit to being fascinated with coal miners, since both my grandfathers worked in the Penna mines. But the mines are just a subset of the book. It is really a book about how a character is molded from childhood into adulthood. It is at times heartbreaking, almost infuriating, but also quite enlightening. And, in the end, triumphant.

Five stars...... without reservation.
