Coal Dust and Tears", by Edith Johnson Napier, is a the true-life account of child trafficking in America. It is the real-life story of a coal camp girl in Eastern Kentucky, who grew up, married, and gave birth to twin daughters, one she raised, while the other was stolen and sold at birth.

While Edith spent her whole life searching for her other daughter, her dream was never fulfilled.

Edith predicted that she would never live to see her book published. Even yet, her story needs to be told, to be read and shared! Who knows, maybe her Linda is still out there!

This compelling page turner has been left in the writer's original narrative, as an endeavor to maintain its authenticity.
