Book Description:
Poignant and thought provoking, this is a down-to-earth, sometimes humorous novel filled with suspense, action, redemption, and even romance. Seventeen-year-old Jeremy Prine decides to honor his mother’s dying wish and seek out his estranged uncle who was badly burned in the accident that killed Jeremy’s father. He finds the man working as a hard-rock miner in the south, an extremely dangerous occupation. His uncle seems a bitter and lonely man, but Jeremy senses more beneath the surface. Against his uncle’s wishes, Jeremy takes a job as a miner and soon his young faith is tested by his rough and gritty co-workers, the threat of danger...and the possibility of love.

I feel that this book is very under rated. It is an absolutely excellent book!! A very believable story of real life! I would highly recommend it to anyone. Dale Cramer's other book, "Sutter's Cross" is also good, but I thought this book was better yet.

I didnt like this book at all.You know how they have chick lit for women well this book was written for the men.It was a story all about men and how they mined.It was surely not written for a woman.I found it quite boring the way these men carried on through everyday life.I found myself pushing to read it.I did like Dale cramers other book so I deceiced to pick this one up wish I hadnt.would recomend it for men to read they can relate to this stuff not for women youll be bored.

I really loved this book. It's the second one by this author and my favorite! The story is beautifully told, uplifting, rings true and has a lot of love. Definitely one of my favorite books!
WONDERFUL READING / PLAN TO READ MORE OF THIS AUTHOR / ASAP!
Pat N. (Another great book by Cramer. The characters are so believable and it is easy to get caught up in their imperfect lives. His writing is so poignant in its' simplicity and it is lyrical at the same time. I could not put this book down. This author has that unique ability to get you to buy into the characters right away.
What an awesome novel- Jeremy loses his mom and has to find his Uncle who he has not seen in 10 years- very well written and touching
