The Lamp of Widow's Hill

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A single lamp. A lifetime of light. A legacy that outshone the darkness. In the coal town of Harlan, Kentucky, nights were once so black that even the bravest miners felt the weight of the mountain pressing down. But on a lonely rise called Widow's Hill, a quiet schoolteacher named Claire Dalton lit a kerosene lamp; and changed the fate of a valley. After losing her husband in a tragic mine collapse, Claire began lighting the lamp each evening as a simple act of remembrance. Soon, it became something far greater: a beacon for wandering miners, a symbol of hope for frightened children, and a lifeline through blizzards, labor wars, and the shadows of two world conflicts. For more than fifty years, Claire's unwavering light guided her community home; through hardship, hunger, grief, and change. Her porch became a sanctuary. Her schoolroom, a refuge. Her story, a legend whispered through generations. And when the day came that her lamp finally went dark, the entire hollow rose to carry her flame. The Lamp of Widow's Hill is a moving, atmospheric Appalachian biography about resilience, sacrifice, and the quiet power of one woman's compassion. A tale for anyone who has ever found comfort in a single light burning against the dark.
