Rusted Rails

Rusted rails, to where, from where,
What hope, joy, drama and tragedy of lives past
Lay beyond those rusted rails.

"Rusted Rails' based on 1928, resurrects the now abandoned coal-mining town of Wilder, Tennessee. Life in these towns held little promise for the future. One family, that of David and Jenny Hughes, sought a way to keep their son out of the mines. However, their plan was jeopardized by David's untimely accidental death and Jenny's discovery that she carried her late husband's unborn child. With few options, Jenny chose abortion.

And so begins a gritty tale of turmoil, desperation, sex and violence...and of unexpected heroes.
