Homer H. Hickam Jr.
I love the Coalwood trilogy (The Coalwood Way being my fave). I totally empathise (spelling??) with Sonny's trials.
I also love Back To The Moon. Great books.

Yes. The movie was based on his book, 'Rocket Boys'. But believe me, they sure messed up a lot of stuff. The other two books are 'The Coalwood Way', and 'Sky of Stone'. If you like a good read, you should try these.
