A captivating story, but the way it's written is confusing at times, and some ends left untied. The author stated she wanted to present the story as a matter of fact, but I found there were many times where one person and their ordeal was favored over others. Also I felt that biased opinions sometimes over shadowed some of the facts previously mentioned in the story. A map of the mines would have helped, as would a key to the sketch included in the back of the book. Keeping the various names and titles straight was tricky, and trying to visualize the tunnels of the mine gave me a headache. Some aspects were detailed, and others not enough. Overall, I became intrigued by the story and visited the website of the Cherry Mine to learn more.

This is a good book, but I feel it could have been written in a more clear and concise manner.
