Set in the notoriously poor Appalachian region of
Kentucky, this story chronicles the life of Sheila and
her seven siblings as they experience one tragedy after
another. After her coal mining father passes away at an
early age, Sheila and her family struggle to survive
under the direction of a mother who can often provide
little more than beans and cornbread for long stretches
of time. As the family weathers tragedy after tragedy,
the siblings believe they have seen it all until Sheila
must face the most difficult trial of all, Lou Gehrig’s
disease. Experience the true meaning of what it means to
struggle and triumph as a family in this tale of how one
group of siblings must come of age in the grip of
poverty. |
