Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A collection of poems and reflections written over many years. From the author: "My poems are pieces of who I am. Each one reveals why and what I was thinking about on a particular day. With premeditation and forethought, I've thrown open wide the doors to my inner sanctum. I hope what shines through is the power of love. Love penetrates and wins with people who genuinely and honestly have a desire to communicate. I dream that something between these covers will help you see your own self-worth, help you express your own feelings, or help you start your own path of creativity. If the love shared between these covers helps you strengthen a relationship, it would bring me much joy. My hope is that at least one of my poems will inspire each reader to do something good for their friends or relatives. To communicate more and to express love more. We all can take small beginnings as we make this journey of life-we can make it better by effectively and continually learning to speak to each other. As we learn to speak, we will learn the dying art of listening to those around us.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through research and stories told by friends, Worley learns more about what went before, during, and after his time growing up in Co-operative, Kentucky, a coal mining camp. In this memoir about a place and time, Worley takes the reader on a journey through the years when Co-operative was still a community and points out county-wide stories as well as national events relevant to the readers' journey on the road to Co-operative. Acts of violence are shared but these are overshadowed by the giving hearts of a poor people living in an extremely harsh environment. Those with a connection to Co-operative or the surrounding coal camps as well as other areas in McCreary County will love the personal stories shared in the memoir. The general reader will learn about a unique place and time in this country's history. All readers will be taken back to a time when coal was king, and the U.S. Federal Government felt the coal miner was as important to winning WWII as the soldier in the field. Worley writes about these coal miners with humility and reverence. The reader will come away with a deeper understanding of the value of life that comes only through relationships with good friends and a loving family instead of material objects.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Co-operative, Kentucky, born in 1920-22 in the vast riches of a virgin forest in the heart of McCreary County seemingly overnight, was brought together by timber and coal. The Co-op Coal Mine thrived for 28 years. Like a desert rose that springs from nothing, Co-op blossomed and then suddenly was gone with no evidence it ever lived.Step back in time and see how these children and their families lived in a world without the conveniences we take for granted today. It was a time of innocence. This community, in the beautiful Daniel Boone National Forest, glimpsed the outside world through only radio and television and weekend dads once the mine closed. Even though these families were forced to move on, they share a bond that will forever remain strong until the last person is standing.The author shines a light on this community of Co-op, on a forgotten time. It's not the whole story, but a snapshot of hardship, struggles, and joys of a poor people. This is Co-op's story through the eyes of one young boy who lived in Co-op from birth (1951) to age 13 (1964).…
