520    Few people in America today live with the dangers and 
       deprivations that Appalachian coal mining families 
       experience. But to the eighteen West Virginia women Carol 
       Giesen interviewed for this book, hard times are just 
       everyday life. These coal miners' wives, ranging in age 
       from late teens to eighty-five, tell of a way of life 
       dominated by coal mining -- and shadowed by a constant 
       fear of death or injury to a loved one. From birth to old 
       age, they experience the social and economic pressures of 
       the coal mining industry. Few families in these 
       communities earn their living in any job outside a coal.
