Abstract
After a football career-ending injury and 15 years in Florida, Ivan Zoschenko returns to his hometown just as his high school pal is released from prison. Says Booklist, “O'Dell’s portrait of Zoschenko is deep and penetrating, but even more moving is her portrayal of the coal-town community. Ravaged by disaster and callous corporate treatment, the citizens of Coal Run still can’t imagine any other life.”
