Editorial Review:
Tragedy strikes a small mining community one fateful Christmas Eve in 1951 when a series of explosions strike a mine nototious for its unsafe conditions. The miners and their families work desperately to rescue the trapped men before an even larger, more deadly explosion can occur.

Though not the usual holiday fare, it is a tale the whole family will find engrossing, moving and, ultimately, inspiring.
