I cannot read a book about union organizing without crying and this one is no different. While reading to my kids I was a little concerned about the violence this family was experiencing: a mom and her small children hide under a bed while corporate hired thugs rain bullets into their home. I realized though, since no one is hurt, this may be a great way to discuss the truth of gun violence, the risks people are willing to take to defend their families and co-workers and friends.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

Wow! I never knew this story about the Kentucky coal miners, the Night Bullets Rained, and the story behind the song, "Which Side Are You On." I am in awe of Florence Reece right now.

I am not certain what I expected from this book from its cover but probably not what it turned out to be. Coal Miners. Struggle to start a Union to protect worker rights. And a family that weather part of the battle with creating a song.
