Sing In The Morning, Cry At Night (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I received this as an Early Reviewer/ARC copy from librarything.com. Sing In The Morning, Cry At Night is an enthralling look into the life of miners and their families. The locations are vividly detailed and the characters are equally intriguing. Grace’s inability to cope is infuriating, but understandable and her struggle is heart-wrenching. The Morgan family will bury themselves deep into your heart and become people that you care about. Taylor’s debut novel is a testament to the tenacity and tenderness of families everywhere. A great read! Barbara J. Taylor's Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night is a refreshing, authentic read. Using historic Scranton, Pennsylvania as a backdrop in the early 20th century coal-mining industry, Taylor weaves a beautiful story based on stories she heard from her elders. Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night is a poignant, poetic, heartbreaking--and yet, funny at times--glance into Pennsylvania's coal-mining past and the ancestors who came before. Her characters are so real you are immediately engaged. Taylor's eloquent writing voice sings you through the pages, through the tears and the hopes and fears of these Pennsylvania ancestors. Taylor's work is a MUST-READ!
