fiction,literature and fiction, Hey! Enough about growing up on a farm or fighting your way through the tough neighborhoods of a city. Let's switch the setting to the Anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, where we find a quasi-fictitous Pat Devlin, a coal miner's son, amateur detective, pool shooter, dancer; later a WWII sailor and country doctor in the early fifties. His hometown was a multicultured little Europe. It was the time of the Great Depression. Its citizens were hard working but ever-striking coal miners. His youthful romance with Ginny, his chores, games and antics are humorously described. A Mafia and German Bund conflict developed over control of the "numbers" game, and body parts were exchanged as the town was racked with a series of kidnappings, murders and disappearances. One of the nocturnally departed was Joe Hoderick, Pat's best friend and mentor with whom he shared a graveyard secret and treasure. Pat entered the Navy with naivete of a Forrest Gump, but was soon educated by the likes of Dr. "knock em out first" Huckley, his first sexual encounter; Bee Gilberti, his classy English instruct∨ Maria Gonzales, his Mexican dancing partner; John "Voyeur" Vasco and several of his shipmates. While stationed at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, Pat exposed and almost botched a highly secret war project. His wartime experiences as a Pharmacist Mate at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, where his ship is devastated by kamikaze planes is vividly described. Suddenly, we are transferred to another tough, coal minin.

Pat Devlin, a quasi-fictional character is developed in an accurate historical setting, to record for posterity the unique times and lives of this great, multi-cultured people in his home town of Mt. Carmel, Pa. Pat was a true, tobacco chewing, coal cracker, deeply in love with his childhood sweetheart and born with an insatiable curiosity and desire to play detective. But it is more than that. The Coal Cracker is about the scrupulous religious fervor of a Catholic education, and about the proud but strange camaraderie of its citizens that exist to this day. It is a story of puppy love, deceit and rejection; innocent times racked with violence; poverty without pity; prejudice overcome; the carnage of war and the primitive practice of medicine in the early fifties. Finally, it is a success story with a literally, incredible happy ending.
