**FROM THE BLURB** In 1911 Pennsylvania, eleven-year old Corey works in the coal mines to help support his family, but when an accident in the mine triggers his phobia, he turns to a reclusive woman for help to save his father. This is a marvelous book in excellent condition! Bought used, and almost appears to be a library discard, except for the fact that there is no sticker on the spine or anynsort of DISCARD marking. All it has is the plastic film taped over the dust jacket. It would be easy to remove the film, though it's actually in good condition as well! Pages look as though they have never been touched, thought this is a well-loved book. Another classic from beloved author Joan Hiatt Harlow!
