Goin' Fishin' (Snippets from Cedar Hollow)

Short Story: Goin’ Fishin’, a Cedar Hollow short story, was first published in the charity book Cedar Hollow Anthology, which having met its goal is now out-of-print. Each of the Cedar Hollow short stories, now published under the series title Snippets from Cedar Hollow, offers a glimpse into the lives of the residents of Cedar Hollow, West Virginia, the fictional mining town featured in the Cedar Hollow Series, which includes the novels Appalachian Justice, Return to Crutcher Mountain, and Entangled Thorns.

When retired miner Darryl Lane starts pining for the old days, Kay Langley, owner of the only diner within fifty miles of Cedar Hollow, calls upon residents of the town to lift Darryl out of his “sorrows.”
