Cindy Sproles

Coal Black Lies was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I was not disappointed! Set in Kentucky coal country in 1899, this is a touching, heart-wrenching tale driven by greed and lies. Ms. Sproles brings the Appalachian culture to life with her vivid descriptions and use of the unique dialect of the rural mountain people. Expertly placed unexpected twists kept me guessing at the outcome. Compelling characters kept me emotionally invested from beginning to end. I fell in love with Aughtie, a thoughtfully portrayed, precious child with disabilities, whose sweet innocence and pure love affect all those around her. I greatly appreciate the strong faith thread with themes of forgiveness and redemption. I love this story and highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book, it is full of action and just when you think you have everything figured out, well, nope!
This story takes place in coal country, back when as the song said "I owe my soul to the company store", yes sadly there is a lot of greed! Also there are those whom seem to have no conscience, and there is loss of life.
This one will keep you page turning, and often with your heart in your throat. A don't miss read!
A beautiful story of forgiveness, and the loving of a special needs child, with the faith and love of God.
