In July 1913, twenty-five-year-old Annie Clements has seen enough of the world to know that it's unfair. She's spent her whole life in the mining town of Calumet, Michigan, where men risk their lives for meager salaries—and have barely enough to put food on the table for their families. The women labor in the houses of the elite, and send their husbands and sons deep underground each day, dreading the fateful call of the company man telling them their loved ones aren't coming home. So, when Annie decides to stand up for the entire town of Calumet, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle.

Yet as Annie struggles to improve the future of her town, her husband becomes increasingly frustrated with her growing independence. She faces the threat of prison while also discovering a forbidden love. On her fierce quest for justice, Annie will see just how much she is willing to sacrifice for the families of Calumet.

From one of the most versatile writers in contemporary fiction, this novel is an authentic and moving historical portrait of the lives of the crucial men and women of the early labor movement "with an important message that will resonate with contemporary readers" (Booklist).]]>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4501229https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4501229Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4501229980EBOOKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982109608/MC.GIF&client=lakep&type=xw12&oclc=https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C1975390https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C1975390Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMThttps://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1975390147BKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375501845/MC.GIF&client=lakep&type=xw12&oclc=https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C4438816https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C4438816Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4438816147BOOK_CLUB_KITThe Women of the Copper Country : A NovelengFrom the bestselling and award-winning author of The Sparrow comes "historical fiction that feels uncomfortably relevant today" (Kirkus Reviews) about "America's Joan of Arc"—the courageous woman who started a rebellion by leading a strike against the largest copper mining company in the world.

The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail twenty-six-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House.
 
Beautifully educated, born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday is given an awful choice at the age of twenty-two: die within months in Atlanta or leave everyone and everything he loves in the hope that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Young, scared, lonely, and sick, he arrives on the rawest edge of the Texas frontier just as an economic crash wrecks the dreams of a nation. Soon, with few alternatives open to him, Doc Holliday is gambling professionally; he is also living with Mária Katarina Harony, a high-strung Hungarian whore with dazzling turquoise eyes, who can quote Latin classics right back at him. Kate makes it her business to find Doc the high-stakes poker games that will support them both in high style. It is Kate who insists that the couple travel to Dodge City, because “that’s where the money is.”
And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp really begins—before Wyatt Earp is the prototype of the square-jawed, fearless lawman; before Doc Holliday is the quintessential frontier gambler; before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral links their names forever in American frontier mythology—when neither man wanted fame or deserved notoriety.
Authentic, moving, and witty, Mary Doria Russell’s fifth novel redefines these two towering figures of the American West and brings to life an extraordinary cast of historical characters, including Holliday’s unforgettable companion, Kate. First and last, however, Doc is John Henry Holliday’s story, written with compassion, humor, and respect by one of our greatest contemporary storytellers.]]>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C451323https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C451323Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/451323980EAUDIOBOOKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307877895/MC.GIF&client=lakep&type=xw12&oclc=https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11587461https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11587461Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11587461981EAUDIOBOOKA Novel of the O.K.
