On Angels Wings

By John Edward Jordan Jr.

On Angel Wings, a continuation of the heart-warming Front Porch Talk, takes the reader back to the West Virginian coal country of the 1950s and 60s. In rich detail, masterful storyteller John E. Jordan, Jr. leads us into a world of tall tales, two-room schoolhouses, bootlegging, "company towns," harsh winters, and spring floods. In his own words, he explains that the collection of stories is meant as "a local history of the Big Coal River area and of West Virginia in the 1950s and 1960s," and readers are encouraged to "enjoy the reflections viewed through the eyes of a child growing up in West Virginia as a cultural history of a unique area during an era of great transition for every mountain family."
