Content descriptions
| Summary, etc.: | A tale inspired by events in an isolated Idaho mining town in the 1970s traces the experiences of a handful of survivors after a disastrous fire and how they struggle to endure wrenching losses while rebuilding and pursuing dreams made harder by the tragedy. In an isolated silver mining town in Idaho in the 1970s, almost everyone in town lost someone in the disastrous fire. Jordan is a young widow with twin children; David, a college student trying to make a life for himself in another town; Lionel, a lifelong hard-rock miner. It's a tough, hard-working, hard-drinking town, but as they struggle to come to terms with the loss nobody's tough enough to get through this undamaged. A powerful and unforgettable tale about small-town lives and the healing power of love in the midst of suffering. |
