 Red Helmet
by Homer Hickam
From the creator of October Sky comes a new coal-mining story about a wife who, to save the man she loves, must put on the red helmet of the novice coal miner and descend underground where danger, and possibly murder, lurks.
Forever unlucky in love, Song Hawkins has the reputation of being a cold-hearted yet beautiful businesswoman. But everything changes when this New Yorker finds the man of her dreams in Cable Jordan, the manager of a West Virginia coal mine. After they marry, it quickly becomes apparent Cable has no intention of leaving his beloved hometown of Highcoal. Reluctantly, Song is soon swept up in the strange, funny, and always interesting highjinks of the little mining town's quirky citizens. But things turn deadly serious when, to save her husband and his town, she must put on the red helmet of the novice coal miner and make both a life-changing and life-threatening sacrifice.
Song is a not only a red helmet in the mine, but also in love.
