About the book

With the narrative sweep and power of an American epic, Giardina's new novel is the saga of an Appalachian mining community, Blackberry Creek, West Virginia, and its fight to survive disaster, oppression, and neglect. Spanning the period from the 1930s to the present, the novel builds to a shattering climax.

First sentence: WHEN MY DADDY DIED I WAS AN INFANT, LYING ON HIS CHEST with his thumb caught tight in my fist.
