It was the summer of 1983. Barbara Kingsolver had a day job as as cientific writer spends her weekends cutting her teeth as a freelance journalist when she landed an assignment. Her mission: was to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike. Over the year that followed Kingsolver stood with those miners and their families,increasingly engaged and heartbroken. She recorded stories of striking minersand their stunningly courageous wives, sisters and daughters. She saw rights she'd taken for granted denied to people she had learned to care about, asthey cried out to a wide world that either refused to believe what was happening to them, or didn't care, or simply could not know.
