According to the coal company, young activist and mother Henrietta
Owens is a "social terrorist in a hijacked plane" hurtling toward
them with a vengeance. Jack Dalton's world faces imminent
implosion. His boss screams, Kill her But there's just one problem:
every word she says is true . . . and people know it Henrietta,
with her baby in her arms, shakes the nation awake with some
tough-loving truth about coal, climate change, and the future of
humanity. Corporate lawyer Jack Dalton's morality and career
collide as a showdown with Henrietta becomes inevitable. The stakes
are high: life, death, the extinction of humanity. Jack's wife
crosses the line of loyalty, his daughter lectures him on heroism,
the Appalachians foment a revolution, and the ghost of John Henry
shows up to haunt him. The climate change countdown is ticking.
Political pressures heat up. The sleeping giant of the common man
awakens with a roar. One question hammers in Jack's ears: what are
you going to do? Steam Drills, Treadmills and Shooting Stars sings
the anthem of our times, celebrating the everyday hero, and
rallying us all to meet adversity with gusto. The novel is alive
with robust characters that appeal to environmentalists, soccer
moms, students, seniors, and literature lovers alike. The story
grabs the social issues of our times by the collar and shakes them
hard, but at the same time, the rich metaphor and poetic writing
create a soaring tribute to the beauty of the human spirit. This
unforgettable book seizes you at the first page and sends you
flying out the other side, refreshed, rejuvenated and empowered to
change. Have a good read.
