Third in the series of what it was like to grow up in a coal mining camp in the early '60's. A good read of the struggle to get out of the coal mines & into the outside world. The author went on to be a part of NASA & also wrote the book that was made into a movie named "October Sky", starring Jake Gyllenhal. Excellent movie, by the way.
