Red Helmet, book 5

This time I took a short deviation from my usual Christian Fiction to read a Non-Christian Fiction book.  From my nightstand, which does not look anything like this anymore, it's worse!, I decided to dig deep and find something different.  I found this one, which came from recommendations from the hubs.  He enjoys Homer Hickam books and although I usually don't like his books, since this one had some LOVE in it, I decided to delve in.  

Even though it is "not" a Christian book, I was happy to see there were not many things mentioned that made me uncomfortable.  More like a Debbie Macomber book, people just getting along with life the best they know how. 

I'll let the book speak for itself.  It was good, thrilling, the end WILL NOT let you go which is why I was in bed all Saturday morning UNABLE to get up until I finished!!  

Song Hawkins is a beautiful, tough, but lonely New York City businesswoman who thinks she's met the man of her dreams in Cable Jordan, the superintendent of a West Virginia coal mine. But soon after they impulsively marry, Song realizes they're in big trouble. She can't imagine life outside of New York, and Cable has no intention of leaving his beloved town of Highcoal.

Song's visit to the little mining community only makes things worse. It looks like the marriage is over. But in a shocking turn of events, Song realizes it's up to her to put on the red helmet of the new coal miner and descend into the deep darkness. There she faces her greatest challenge with choices and courage that will forever impact the life of Cable and the entire town. (picture and description from amazon)
