JENNY'S MOUNTAIN by Elaine Long
An unforgettable story of one woman's struggle in the mining hills of Colorado. ?Jenny switched on her headlamp. In the dim glow that lit the tunnel, the vein of gold ore glittered. It was man's work, for certain, but could she learn to drill and blast and haul this precious rock? Jenny knew she must. For with two small children to feed and her husband, Mike, too spooked to work the mine?well, there was no one else to get out the payload.
If only she could free her family from the grip of poverty. If only she could study all she yearned to know. If only David, who had rescued her once before, could be there for her again.
She turned off her lamp. In the darkness she recalled the words an old prospector had spoken to her: "The mountain holds its treasures dear." Would the mountain? Jenny's mountain now?yield its treasures up to her??
