Where the Road Gives Out

Four women in a Kentucky hollow build an illegal radio station from salvaged mine parts—and ignite a revolution no coal company can silence. In 1962, Essie Slone watches a child die because no one could reach a doctor in time. Refusing to accept the isolation that keeps her community voiceless, she recruits a war veteran, a miner's wife, and a seventy-year-old herbalist to broadcast from her barn. But the coal company that profits from their silence will burn everything to keep them off the air.
