Good book for hard times

I just finished a really satisfying book


The Well and the Mine by Gin Phillips. It's set in Alabama during the Great Depression. One night Tess sees a woman drop a baby in her family's well. No one believes her until a blanket comes up from the well the next day. Tess's father Albert works is a coal miner who owns his own land. Ms. Phillips captures both the time and the characters beautifully.
