About Childhood Lost
Product Description When the coal miners in Central Pennsylvania decide in 1891 to strike for better working conditions, many families lose their jobs and their company-owned housing. James Millward goes to work with his father, to supplement the family income, when he is only nine years old. Life is hard in the coal patch towns, and many die from disease and disaster. This story reflects the immigrants of the coal era in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. Review "Childhood Lost" by Linda Goodlin is an inspiring novel about a mining town in Pennsylvania filled with hardworking immigrants. This is a well-researched story that shows the complex and challenging lives that the miners and their families live from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The author's use of regional dialect and multiple character perspectives helps the readers to engage in the struggles and triumphs of the miners as they lived their daily lives. Although the miners and their families endured countless hardships, their faith in God never wavered, a lesson in conviction that applies in 2019, just as much as it did in 1890.- Review by Eleanor Nova About the Author Linda A.
