Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "1893 .... Desperate workers strike on railways and at coal mines as a nation shudders with the passions of men and women who demand a share of the American dream. Violence and tears touch every heart when the cities of America rock with the shouts of police and rioters, strikers and scabs. Where is honor in this strife-torn land? Where one bold family dares to raise its voice for freedom, fairness, and justice for all: THE HOLTS." This is volume 4 in the Holt family series.
