The Fall of Heaven Hill

About the Book

The Fall of Heaven Hill is the story of a secluded mountain mining town where one company ruled all. Told through the eyes of two old friends, it recalls a community and how it stood and endured in the face of power. By turns bruising and tender, heartbreaking and humorous, the story moves like an old miner’s lantern casting light here and there on the outlines and facets of a place and a way of life hidden away from the world at large.
