My Heart Lies Here

In 1913, the United Mine Workers of America led a strike against John D. Rockefeller's Colorado Fuel & Iron Company that would end in war.
In this novel of the Ludlow Massacre, a young woman learns the true meaning of love, sacrifice, and what it means to be an American.

Coming of age in the hardscrabble coal camp of Berwind, Colorado, Christian Scott is caught in a web of divided loyalties. Torn between her dedication to her brother, Alex, who stubbornly clings to his proud Scottish heritage, and her love of Pearl, a spirited and irreverent orphan whose flight from abuse and poverty lands her on the Scotts' doorstep, she experiences heartbreak when the two become enemies. At the same time, she secretly joins with a passionate Greek man on a dangerous course of resistance against the coal company and the brutal Colorado National Guard that threatens to destroy everything--and everyone--she loves.
