As they do they manage to find their way into trouble and somehow they find their way back out of it. Through their eyes they witness the best of people as well as the worst of people as they watch a tragedy unfold. The book also catalogs what life was like for a mountain family who lived deep in the Appalachian mountains at a time when the coal industry was just starting to boom throughout Appalachia during the late 1960's and early 1970's. During this time period, people could make lots of money off the land by mining it anyway they could. The family in our story cherished the land they owned. They were proud mountain people who would go to great limits to protect what was theirs. Lastly readers will see the worst of people in the story. These are people who will go to great lengths to get what they want at any cost even if that means destroying property or in this case even people. Murder Seen Through the Eyes of a Child will give the reader humor to chuckle at and possibly the reader may even see himself in the story as a child.
