Original Cover

On a hot summer morning in 1880, a stranger arrives in the little town of Rocky Knob. Grace Burton, daughter of the local minister, is eager to learn the mystery behind this young man who lives and works as a miner, but is so obviously a gentleman - a gentleman at first unwilling to grant even his name to her father. As his life becomes more and more entwined with the minister's family and the small mining community that they serve, her interest in their enigmatic new friend grows.

Dunstan King, still in mourning for a beloved father, finds himself immersed in a world he never imagined existed. Warned by a family friend that his finances are in a precarious state, he has left the city to join his father's partner at the Rocky Knob copper mine. But his purpose soon begins to shift from the fight for his own honor and his father's legacy to a battle for the lives and souls of his fellow miners, and he will need all his strength, courage, and faith to prove his worth to the mine, the men, and the minister's daughter of Rocky Knob.

Join author and historian Sarah Brazytis as she leads you to the rocky hills of America's mining country, to weave a tale of faith, friendship, and love in the rugged life of 19th century copper miners. With meticulous research and intricate historical detail, readers will be drawn into the Victorian age, where good triumphs over evil, and truth and right prevail.
