From Coal Mine to UC Berkeley tells the story of how the enterprising son of a Scranton, Pennsylvania, coal miner drew on family support, neighborhood friendships, the kindness of strangers, and a healthy dose of luck and pluck to succeed as a traveling salesman... It is a wise and funny tale, in sentences as energetic as a steam engine, about facing hardship with talent, guts and humor, and on the way enriching others.
