Blurb:

George Ferris has worked hard to make a good life for himself and his family without going into the coal mines that shortened his father’s life. Now, a slow-moving catastrophe is threatening to take it all away.

How far will he go to protect everything he has worked for? And will he realize what really matters before it is too late? Inspired by true events.

Behind the Scenes: 

The Burning is based on a play Seewald wrote that won the Playhouse 22 Playwrights Award in the late 1980’s and was performed on stage. Part fact, but also fiction, the story is about what happens to a family in Pennsylvania as the result of a coal fire burning under the town. Members of the Ferris family face his or her personal hell, barely coming through it alive, forced to acknowledge painful truths. The Burning is based on real events that occurred in Centralia, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, such problems continue to plague coal-mining communities in different places. And there are no easy answers.
