RUNNING ON RED DOG ROAD
and other perils of an Appalachian childhood
a memoir by Drema Hall Berkheimer
published for April 2016 release by:
A Division of Harper Collins
“The Waltons meet Little House on the Prairie told with Mark Twain’s humor.” —Tom Rodgers
Every year mining companies set slag heaps ablaze, burning trash coal into rocks called red dog. And every year trucks dumped loads of those sharp rocks on the dirt road we lived on.
Grandma said, “Don’t you be running on that red dog road.”
But I do.
