Synopsis:

A rich gothic tale of a young soul coming of age during the explosive boom and but years of an immigrant coal mining town in 19th-century California. In this powerful debut, M. Allen Cunningham takes us into a time and place at once gritty and magical, when the future seems filled with promise but where the day's labor is bone breaking, numbing and always dangerous.

“Nowhere is the theme of personal redemption and the hard-won understandings that precede it more powerfully drawn than in M. Allen Cunningham’s riveting debut novel, The Green Age of Asher Witherow…a brilliant story from one of America’s most promising voices.”—ForeWord Magazine
