Down On Snake Root Ridge

By Mike Muncy

A gripping true story of survival, courage, and the unbreakable bonds of mountain family.

When a small aircraft crashes on Snake Root Ridge during a November blizzard, it sets in motion one of the most remarkable rescue stories in Appalachian history. Kevin Morrison, a successful businessman, and his eighteen-year-old son Carson are returning from their first real father-son hunting trip when their plane goes down in the remote mountains of West Virginia.

The only hope for the injured survivors lies with ten-year-old Steven Muncy and his father Kenny-mountain people who understand that when someone needs help, you don't ask questions, you just help. Armed with nothing but courage, mountain wisdom, and an unshakeable faith, this unlikely rescue team must battle brutal weather, treacherous terrain, and their own physical limits to save two strangers.

But this is more than a survival story. It's about fathers and sons, about finding strength you never knew you had, and about the profound connections that can form between people from completely different worlds when life hangs in the balance.

The third book in the acclaimed Shop Hollow trilogy, "Escape from Snake Root Ridge" follows "Shop-Vegas Moonshiners and Ministers" and "War Creek: A People's Fight for Survival." Based on true events that took place in the mountains of McDowell County, West Virginia, this novel captures the authentic spirit of Appalachian culture and the extraordinary heroism of ordinary mountain people.

A story of faith, family, and the courage to do what's right when everything is on the line.
