This wasn't a book for me. It didn't have a lot of happy moments and didn't really have a plot. What little romance there was wasn't believable, in my opinion. It was narrated well and that's all I got to say really.

The author brings to life a 1930's Kentucky coal mining town and the racism of that time period.  Blueit/Cussy is a strong, proud woman that makes a life for herself even with the odds stacked against her. This was a great mix of history and story.
