What is Sky of Stone: A Memoir (Coalwood) about?

<p>Homer Hickam won the praise of critics and the devotion of readers with his first two memoirs set in the hardscrabble mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia. <i>The New York Times</i> crowned his first book, the #1 national bestseller <b>October Sky</b>, “an eloquent evocation ... a thoroughly charming memoir.” And <i>People</i> called <b>The Coalwood Way</b>, Hickam’s follow-up to <b>October Sky</b>, “a heartwarmer ... truly beautiful and haunting.”</p> <p>Now Homer Hickam continues his extraordinary story with <b>Sky of Stone</b>, dazzling us with exquisite storytelling as he takes us back to that remarkable small town we first came to know and love in <b>October Sky</b>.</p> <p>In the summer of ‘61, Homer “Sonny” Hickam, a year of college behind him, was dreaming of sandy beaches and rocket ships. But before Sonny could reach the seaside fixer-upper where his mother was spending the summer, a telephone call sends him back to the place he thought he had escaped, the gritty coal-mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia. There, Sonny’s father, the mine’s superintendent, has been accused of negligence in a man’s death—and the townspeople are in conflict over the future of the town.
