The Well and the Mine

The Well and the Mine
by Gin Phillips

The Well and the Mine is the story of a mining family's daily struggles against poverty and racism in Depression-era Carbon Hill, Alabama. The story moves between the alternating voices of the Moore family. When 9-year-old Tess witnesses a woman throwing a baby into their well, few are shocked, but all are mystified.

This is Southern fiction at its finest, from a talented new writer.
