A Coal Miner's Son: Life's Journey To The Edge And Back is enjoyable and unique read. Just about every single biography book out there is about a celebrity, politician, or other famous figure. But how often do you come across a biography of a person that grew up in relatively average circumstances? This book can relate to a lot of people out there that grew up in the rural parts of the country. It is truly a good read to learn about the life of someone that you may be walking past on the street, because their life may be more interesting than you might think.
