Pauline Mueller's debut novel, West Virginia Belle, is the story of an unlikely romance blooming amidst the trying, arduous era of 1920s-early 30s Appalachia. Having lost a husband and two children, Alice Ida Belle Anderson finds herself with the difficult prospect of being a single mother. Seeking help from the local Salvation Army, she meets Dr. Gordon Cranford, and finds a community different from what she's come to know--one composed of people concerned for the welfare of its own, who reach out to help those in need. West Virginia Belle is more than a simple love story; it's a story of human struggle and survival, and the strength needed to overcome tragic circumstances.

1930: the Great Depression. Twenty-five cent an hour jobs attract thousands of men to West Virginia, two-thirds of them black, to drill Union Carbide's Hawks Nest tunnel through near-solid rock. Within months, men fall ill and die of a mysterious illness tunnelitis company doctors call it. Lacking respiratory protection, at least 800, possibly over 1,500, workers will die of acute silicosis in America's worst industrial disaster. Orville Orr, a company-paid deputy sheriff secures the first autopsy of a tunnel worker and builds evidence of the company's responsibility for the deaths. Armen, the mixed-race daughter of a tunnel worker and union organizer who has died of silicosis, joins him and they fall in love, as Orville risks his life to expose the truth.

She highlights the struggles she and her husband, Ray, went through to establish a new funeral home in a small, tight-knit community.
