| Abstract |
Forty-three-year-old army surgeon and Korean War veteran Tom Owen returns home to Coalville, a hard-bitten, fictitious, Monongahela Valley town, after his brother’s accidental mining death. Tom falls in love with the mine owner’s gorgeous daughter, gives up his working-class idealism, and moves his medical practice to posh Pittsburgh.
