Three brothers tear their way through childhood—smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from trash, hiding out when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn—he’s Puerto Rican, she’s white—and their love is a serious, dangerous thing that makes and unmakes a family many times.

Annadel, West Virginia, was a small town rich in coal, farms, and close-knit families, all destroyed when the coal company came in. It stole everything it hadn't bothered to buy - land deeds, private homes, and ultimately, the souls of its men and women. Four people tell this powerful, deeply moving tale: Activist Mayor C. J. Marcum. Fierce, loveless union man Rondal Lloyd. Gutsy nurse Carrie Bishop, who loved Rondal. And lonely Sicilian immigrant Rosa Angelelli, who lost four sons to the deadly mines.

Great book!
Reviewed: 07-08-22
Absolutely love this book and most of the narration is pretty good. The one exception is the female narrator who does Carrie Bishop. She uses this funny pre-fab cadence when she speaks that not only seems to have nothing to do what she’s saying, but is completely at odds with the character. It didn’t ruin the book for me but … made those chapters frustrating and prevented me from connecting as deeply with that character as I’d like.
