Description
Summer 1983 marked a pivotal moment in the lives of the women who stood alongside their striking families. Barbara Kingsolver, a young journalist at the time, was assigned to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike. Over the course of a year, she immersed herself in the stories of the striking miners and their families, witnessing firsthand the courage and resilience of their wives, sisters, and daughters.
As Kingsolver delved deeper into the lives of these women, she was struck by the stark contrast between their struggles and the world's indifference. The book that emerged is a powerful testament to the women who held the line, fighting to protect their families from destitution. It is a story of human mettle, of the sparks that fly when force and determination collide.
This is a story of courage, of the unyielding spirit of those who refused to give up in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
