Two brothers are swept into the turbulent class warfare of the early 20th century: while sixteen-year-old Rye yearns for a steady job and a home, his older brother, Gig, dreams of a better world, fighting alongside other union men for fair pay and decent treatment. An intimate story of love, sacrifice, and betrayal set against the dawn of the labor movement, this novel offers a vibrant portrait of a nation grappling with the chasm between rich and poor, the vulnerable and the powerful – a tale that eerily echoes our own time.
