Tracks from Nowhere Sharon Vogt

Tracks from Nowhere takes the reader into the remote and impoverished coal-mining community of New River Gorge, West Virginia. The year is 1936. Hank O'Neill, a ruggedly handsome coal miner, bears the burden of a promise that threatens not only his life, but his marriage to the lovely, Louise as well. She is discontented living in poverty and is desperate to escape; but in the isolated Appalachian Mountains of post-depression America, a way out is difficult to come by. Gambling everything, Louise blindsides Hank in a risky plight to fulfill the destiny that haunts her dreams. Hank severs his promise and hops aboard a south-bound freight train to pursue the amazing woman he loves. His journey is a perilous one; but fate offers an unexpected opportunity. Melding history into the lives of absorbing characters, this engaging tale is full of heartbreak and survival sprinkled with hope and optimism. Tangled in poignant emotions, Tracks from Nowhere weaves a beautiful tapestry of love, forgiveness, and the reward for having the courage to live one's dream.
