Description
This Czech-language novel follows Emma Malloy, who left the remote Coal River area of Pennsylvania as a child and promised never to return. Orphaned and penniless as an adult, she accepts a train ticket from her aunt and uncle and goes back to work for them without pay in their shop. There, miners and their impoverished families have to pay exorbitant prices for food, clothing and tools, while some cannot afford them and are starving to death. Unable to stand by and watch, Emma decides to help. As the boundary between what is legal and what is just begins to blur, she must risk everything to follow her conscience.
