Breakthrough Novel

Inspired by true events, Under Ground is the story of a young Slovenian woman, Katka Kovich, who emigrates to Minnesota’s Iron Range in 1915, where the miners are on the brink of revolution. Working for her aunt’s secret newspaper, she chronicles shootouts at labor rallies, murders in the mines, police corruption, and false imprisonment. When strikers are forbidden to assemble, she joins a heroic band of women who take over the strike, risking assault and murder to oppose corrupt lawmen and strikebreaking thugs.
