When trash coal is set on fire it turns rose and orange and
lavender. What’s left is called red dog. The road where Drema grew up, in East
Beckley, West Virginia was a red dog road. In her new book, Running on Red Dog Road: And Other Perils of An Appalachian Childhood,
Drema Hall Berkheimer recalls life with her grandparents. They were devout
Pentecostals. Her father was killed in a coal mining accident, and her mother
was working in a war plant in New York. Drema writes about everyday life,
carefully blending sweet memories with crazy characters and Appalachian charm. If
you wish to meet faith healers, gypsies,or snake
handlers please pick up this book. DB
