In the hills of Appalachia, coal dust settles on everything; lungs, dreams, and the hearts of those who dare to leave.
Danny Wallace has one foot in the mine and the other in a world he can almost touch: the glow of a stage, the promise of a song, the chance to outrun a legacy carved into the rock. Torn between Shelby, the girl who anchors him to home, and Daisy, who tempts him with glitter and escape, Danny wrestles with choices that could cost him everything.
Guided by the weary wisdom of Earl and shadowed by the memory of his father's flight from the mines, Danny must decide if his voice will be buried with the mountain or rise above it.
Appalachian High - A Dreamer's Tale is a sweeping, lyrical debut about music, love, and survival in a town where every road is steep and every dream exacts a price. Perfect for readers of Rural and Small-Town Fiction, who love a romance with a twist, this novel asks the timeless question: Do we belong to the place we're from, or to the song that calls us away?
