My Search for Air

Plainsville, Pennsylvania, is a town as dull as it sounds, and for high-spirited Lilith Brown, it is a torturous existence. Coming of age at the end of the nineteenth century, Lilith finds herself questioning the prevailing ideology of social stratification and its resulting inequities.

But when ruthless businessman Gregory Wentworth takes an interest in the surrounding coal mining industry, Lilith is forced to see the hard truths of greed, intimidation, and harassment come to light right in front of her. Is there any winning a battle where the enemy controls all the resources and weaponry?

"My Search for Air" examines the subjectivity of morality, the concept of sin, and the meaning of forgiveness.
