Synopsis

The complexities of rural life in the late 19th century are eloquently explored in this book, the tale of young Ben and his family in West Virginia as societal shifts in the post-Reconstruction era alter their way of life. The presence of industrialization is shown through the exploitation of the land and its resources, the resulting social changes weaving a rich backdrop to Ben's experiences. The author's warm portrayal of Ben's childhood is laced with tension as he comes face to face with such harsh realities. Yet, it is the enduring spirit of the people and the resilience of the family that take center stage. Through this young boy's eyes, we witness the transformative power of community and the values that anchor us through changing times.
