I am an author, counselor and life coach. All my previous books have been in the psychotherapy/self-help field but my new book MEMORY OF A MINER is quite different. It's the true story of my dad, Carl Ruth's, life as an old-time coal miner in Harlan County, KY, between 1930-1960. Carl was a quite the character and storyteller, and I spent countless hours recording and transcribing his stories - so they are told in the miner's own words and then fleshed out by me in their historical context. There are stories of fun and good times...and stories of intense grief and pain. But they come together to tell the tale of a time and place that only remains in the memories of those who lived it and in recorded histories such as this. There's a lot more information available on the website www.memoryofaminer.com, as well as a full-blown media kit.
