Jack is opposed to the mine where   so many of his relatives have died, but how can he tell that to his Dad   who wants him to follow in the family trade? Jack just wants his dad   safe and the land returned to its pre-mining glory with trees, birds,   frogs, and nature—like he's learning about in school. After Jack's   uncle is killed in a mining accident and the Company implements a   massive layoff, the union organizes and the miners go on strike. It   seems Jack's wish is coming true. But the cost may be the ruin of his   home and everything he loves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) Spring OKRA PICK\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sourcebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135909642480,"sku":"9781619891050","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781619891050_p0.jpg?v=1763857824","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781619891050","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
