The Black Heart Book: The Life And Times Of David Alex Turner, Harlan County, Kentucky 1822 - 1929 - Softcover
Synopsis
There were no secrets among the folk that lived in the Pine Mountain region of Kentucky. Everyone knew that Alex Turner was an old man with "strange" powers. They also knew that his daughter Judy could shoot like a man and had the same powers. But no one knew about the Black Heart Book ...
Rosezelle Boggs-Qualls reveals with stunning insight the struggles of her great-grandfather and of her grandmother, a fiercely independent woman, who overcame the adversities of abandonment and divorce to carve a path to success for herself and her two young daughters.
The events described in the book are true. They have been confirmed by members of the family and by recorded history of Harlan County, Kentucky.

About the Author
Rosezelle Boggs-Qualls grew up in Sunshine and Harlan, Kentucky. A born tom boy, she spent her days exploring the mountainsides, trails, streams, caves and abandoned mines of the Pine Mountains. She left home at the age of 12 as a high school freshman to attend the Pine Mountain Settlement School. In spite of a serious hearing impairment, Rosezelle graduated from High School at age 16. After graduating from Wright State University she worked as a social worker in the Dayton and Akron Ohio areas for more than 30 years. In 2001, she co-authored the book, "Walking Free: The Nellie Zimmerman Story" which chronicles the life of a totally deaf and totally blind woman from Massillon Ohio.
Rosezelle is now retired and lives with her husband Buck in Harlan, Kentucky.
