This excellent essay is one of a series produced by Eastern Kentucky youth called "Living with Coal in Eastern Kentucky". In this piece, Autumn Campbell talks about growing up as the daughter of a coal miner. She intersperses her narration with that of her father, who suffers from rock lung disease. It's a poignant piece of work, and you can hear the labored breathing of her father as he matter-of-factly describes the work in the mine and his own condition from working on a rotary drill. The piece is well produced and edited, and flows nicely, never sounding forced. It's a very personal story, well told, and I enjoyed it very much. It also happens to be timely, with the Virginia coal mine accident still very much on people's minds.
