From the #1 bestselling author of October Sky comes this rich, unforgettable tale. With the same dazzling storytelling that distinguished his first memoir, Homer Hickam takes us deeper into the soul of his West Virginia hometown at a moment when its unique way of life is buffeted by forces of time and change.
It is fall 1959. Homer " Sonny" Hickam and his fellow Rocket Boys are in their senior year at Big Creek High, and the town of Coalwood finds itself at a painful crossroads.
The strains can be felt within the Hickam home, where Homer Sr. struggles to save the mine, and his wife, Elsie, is feeling increasingly isolated from both her family and the townspeople. Sonny, despite a blossoming relationship with a local girl, finds his own mood darkened by an unexplainable sadness.
Then, with the holidays approaching, trouble at the mine and the arrival of a beautiful young outsider bring unexpected changes in both the Hickam family and the town of Coalwood ... as this luminous memoir moves toward its poignant conclusion.

In a small waiting-room at Blank Hospital a girl was walking up and down, with quick, impatient steps. Every few minutes she stopped to listen; then, hearing no sound, she resumed her walk, with hands clasped and lips set firmly together. She was evidently in a state of high nervous excitement, for the pupils of her eyes were so dilated that they flashed black as night instead of gray; and a bright red spot burned in either cheek. In the corner, in an attitude of anxious dejection, sat a small dog.

SOME LOVE IS FOREVER LIKE A TRUMPETER SWAN'S MATING He is haunted; haunted by things he never once gave a second thought about. This drives him to over achieve sometimes and even to suffer a burn-out. In the midst of one of these, he suddenly takes off to the mountains and joins an exploration team at an abandoned homestead deep in the cliffs of rough country. He just wants to sort things out once in for all of a difficult childhood, and the problems he had encountered recently with his vocation. Maybe he should abandon some of his dreams and face reality. Catching a glimpse of this isolated but beautiful place, he suddenly feels free of all his cares. He likes the people on the team, but finds some of them eccentric and strange. He feels an attraction to one woman, but he craves to disconnect from deep emotions and just coast along for a while, but she is compelling him in every way and he finds this situation provocative and something startling new to his senses. Then to add to his bewilderment, the man who had invited him seems to be finding ghosts which torment them all as they dig for the truth, buried in history, and lost to mankind.
