The Green Age of Asher Witherow

The Green Age of Asher Witherow is a rich, gothic tale of a young soul coming of age during the explosive boom and bust years of an immigrant coal mining town in nineteenth-century California. In this powerful debut, M. Allen Cunningham takes us into a time and place at once gritty and magical, when the future seems filled with promise but where the day's labor is bone breaking, numbing and always dangerous.
