A Cloud Over Danville
Summary: In 1917, Frank Papalio was a young second-gerneration Italian struggling to keep the coke embers lit and his cabin warm while barely making a living working for a company that produced coke by burning coal in fiery dome brick ovens near a smoke-shrouded hamlet nestled along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Follow Frank's adventures as he encounters a seemingly endless procession of obstacles he and his sweetheart, Maria, overcome while prusuing their dream of escaping Danville.````An ominous cloud loomed over Danville, however, not a cloud created by the coke ovens, but a cloud of complex origin, a cloud that would not leave. www.johnstuchell.com
