| Summary Note | Summary: Hearts in Zion is the continuing story of Bruce Hopkins' family during the early 20th century. As the prosperity of industrialization grasps the country in the aftermath of the Civil War, the coal camps of Eastern Kentucky are established. With the coming of the Great Depression the people of Hopkins' homeland face hardship and abandonment, but manage to survive and pass on the stories of their bloodline to yet another generation.--From publisher's description.
