Black Diamonds is a series of vignettes depicting moments from the
author's childhood in a coal mining town in Eastern Kentucky and
her adolescence during the war years in Louisville. Barnes' rich
memories breathe life into the time and place of her past, and she
connects it to the here and now as she traces her journey into
adulthood. As much a coming of age story as a retrospective, Black
Diamonds brings a uniquely real and personal perspective to the
difficulties of rural and city life in the 30s and 40s. Through all
the successes and tragedies Barnes' account recalls, the love and
devotion of family to emerge as the real reward to both author and
reader.
