Description: In the poverty of the Appalachian coal country in 1908, eight-year-old Minna's life gets even more difficult after her father dies of black lung, and that winter she can't go to school because she doesn't have a coat--until the quilting mothers make her a coat using pieces of cloth from their own lives, each with a special story behind it.
