I love the Coalwood trilogy (The Coalwood Way being my fave). I totally empathise (spelling??) with Sonny's trials.
I also love Back To The Moon. Great books.

Homer Hickam? Are we talking October Sky Homer Hickam here?

Yes. The movie was based on his book, 'Rocket Boys'. But believe me, they sure messed up a lot of stuff. The other two books are 'The Coalwood Way', and 'Sky of Stone'. If you like a good read, you should try these.

I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!
