Her father has Black Lung Disease. He and Maman nmust fend off the mercenary Mr. Mackey's efforts to take over the Shoal Creek Mine-n nwhich would bring the entire rural community to its knees. The mine is a paradox, n nkilling the miners yet providing their livelihood. Konert's novel is rich in period detail, n nwith hardscrabble folks as varied as the Ozark hills and hollows.
