Publisher's Summary

The Flats is a delightful, humorous romp through the lives of a coal miner’s patchwork family in the early 1950s. Tucked away in a secluded area of Pennsylvania’s majestic Allegheny Mountains, Michael Stephanic learns to navigate the many obstacles of a dysfunctional family. Together with his stepfather, John, his mother, Julia, and his sister, Turtle, life is nothing less than one amazing adventure after another. Even when dark clouds gather and dangerous physical and emotional storms roll in, life is still an exciting world of discovery when seen through the eyes of a six-year-old. But something sinister threatens to tear Michael’s young world apart, and even the strongest love can’t overcome overwhelming odds.
