Coal River

Stunningly repackaged from the acclaimed author of What She Left Behind and The Plum Tree, the story of a young woman orphaned on the early 1900's and sent to live with abusive relatives in a Pennsylvania coal town. There she encounters broken young boys working under atrocious conditions in the mines, and her concern for them opens a window to the suffering of miners and their families, the key to healing her past, and budding love for a charismatic activist at the brink of organizing a very dangerous strike.
