Carbon Hill, Alabama. 1931. A small coal-mining town. Nine year-old Tess secretly witnesses a woman toss a baby into their well without a word. This event, and others that transpire, force the family to face a world alien to their tight-knit family. One of darkness, racism, and a world that is harsh at times. I REALLY liked this book. Great descriptions of life in that period and in the mines. The love and respect between the family members is endearing - and sorely missing in our society today. Well worth the read. Sorry to have it end. Give it a try!
