Black Sunshine, Ninie Hammon
Will Gribbins and Lloyd Jacobs are the only two survivors of the 1980 explosion that killed 27 Eastern Kentucky miners in the Harlan #7 Coal Mine. Both men carry terrible secrets about another tragedy that occurred under Black Mountain that day, and those secrets ravage their lives for the next two decades.
When Will returns home to face his past—and Lloyd—on the twentieth anniversary of the explosion, he sets in motion an unexpected chain of events that could trigger a second disaster even worse than the first. As he reconnects with Aintree Hollow—with Granny Sparrow, whose grief has imprisoned her, JoJo, who carries a terrible secret of her own and Jamey, a mentally handicapped boy who carves coal statutes—Will doesn’t see the mounting danger. Or that the boy holds the key to it all.
