Town is by the Sea

by Joanne Schwartz

This story brings mining history vividly to life through the eyes of a young boy. From waking to the sound of the ocean to visiting his grandfather’s grave, the rhythms of a mining town unfold with quiet beauty. As he returns to a warm family dinner, his thoughts linger on his father, working deep beneath the sea, digging for coal.
