Step into the gritty world of Crossing Big Coal River, a pulse-pounding story set in the rugged hills of Boone County, West Virginia—a place where the coal runs deep, but the corruption runs even deeper. Quincy Ashford was just a regular sixteen-year-old boy, living life along the banks of the Big Coal River, a waterway that sustains—and takes from—the tight-knit community he calls home. But all that changes when a devastating mining disaster strikes, shattering families and forcing Quincy to leave his adolescence behind.
Forced to become the man of the house overnight, Quincy grapples with adult-sized challenges, ethical dilemmas, and haunting questions about who is responsible for the catastrophe. But as he delves deeper into the corruption-infused maze that led to the explosion, Quincy realizes he’s standing in a war zone where greed is the ammunition and power is the prize. When the sinister figures behind the calamity re-emerge with even deadlier intentions, it's up to Quincy to rally the men of his community to fight back.
