Description: Journey into the deep, dark hollows of the Appalachian coalfields.  Find out how we live and die.  How we survive the hardest of times and celebrate the smallest miracles.  The Sago Mine Disaster became a media blitz with Anderson Cooper on the scene.  The story was broadcast worldwide in real time.  Family members gathered at the Sago Baptist Church (pictured on the cover of the book) were told the miners were alive and they cheered as the ambulances sped out of the mine -out of the hollow toward the hospital.  The family members soon learned all were dead except for one surivor, Randle McCloy.
