by William Marlowe
with Christian Rodska and Hector Ross
A pit closes, a mining town dies, and young Eli either leaves home or stagnates. His father, however, is bedridden, his eldest sister crippled, and Harriet - married to money - remains aloof from family affairs. Eli has to learn to solve his own problems and it is a painful process.
