Summary

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

In 2010, the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in West Virginia killed 29 men and tore a hole in the lives of countless others. Now you can hear the first-person accounts from survivors and family members. In this riveting, emotionally stunning new work, Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, award-winning writers of The Exonerated, and three-time Grammy Award-winning country/folk legend Steve Earle dig deep into the repercussions of the most deadly mining disaster in recent US history.

Heart-breaking Truth of a Mining Disaster

I'm not ashamed to say I paused at the doctor's telling of her brother and I sobbed. Listening here within sight of Aberfan and Senghenydd, I cried for her, for him and all before and since. Thank you, Goose, for your courage in testimony.
