Running on Red Dog Road: And Other Perils of an Appalachian Childhood

Running on Red Dog Road is a captivating memoir that delves into the life of Drema Hall Berkheimer in 1940s Appalachia after her father's death in the coal mines, her mother's departure to work as a Rosie the Riveter, and her subsequent care by devout Pentecostal grandparents.

This book is a testament to the author's coming of age, colored by tent revivals with Grandpa, poetry-writing hobos, and traveling carnivals.

Through it all, Drema witnesses a multi-generational family of saints and sinners whose lives defy stereotypes, just as she does herself.

This memoir is a must-read for anyone looking for an unforgettable story of faith, resilience, and the power of family.
