Goodbye Wifes and Daughters

Recommended

Written from the perspective of a woman who not only paints the portrait of the hard working miners, their families, their expectations, and the naivety of putting themselves in harm's way each and every day with only the "company" protecting. Susan Resnick follows through the entire story giving us a glimpse of the pain and suffering along with some heart warming portraits of those strong, brave individuals that picked up the pieces and went on. Resnick's strength is the combination of the history of the community, the sudden disaster, the grime outcome, and balancing it with the social and economic ramifications that wasted a once thriving community that many called home.
