Rosemarie Scott — Where The Road Has No Turning

National Pacific Press 2009 Paperback, 108pp. Where The Road Has No Turning is a fascinating tale based around the memories of an old man who was once a coal miner and dreamed of leaving the harsh realities of the mines to marry his childhood sweetheart and go into the army. Early one morning he goes for a walk in the hills and finds himself entering a tunnel. After a fall, he wakes up in an environment that is strange, yet somehow familiar - one in which workers living underground have become trapped and enslaved by the expectations of those around them. Their only hope is to build a road that will take them out of the mountain, by nuturing visions that will help them fight the expectations of others and lead them to a better life beyond.
