The dream begins in White Oak Hollow.

Danny Wallace carries coal dust, music, and a stubborn vision of a life beyond the mines. The first book in the trilogy follows the first great reach toward that dream—and the people, promises, and pieces of home that travel with him.

Rooted in Appalachia and shaped by music, Appalachian High: A Dreamer’s Tale asks what a person is willing to leave behind for a chance to become something more.
