Peeling Potatoes: Katie's Story (Rocked in the Cradle of Coal series Book 1)

The Cradle of Coal series is a heartwarming collection of stories based on fact, but not politically correct by today's standards.

These tales are set in northeastern Pennsylvania during the early 1900s and follow the lives of proud immigrants who faced prejudice and discrimination but found strength in their ethnic neighborhoods, societies, and faith.

The stories are based on oral tradition and imagination, but could have happened in any immigrant home at that time. In Book 1: Peeling Potatoes, Katie's Story, readers are introduced to a young girl who must start school one year early so her mother can work full-time.

Shy and struggling to make friends, Katie wants to be brave and help her family.

Will she succeed? Find out in this touching tale of resilience and determination.
