In the coal town of Whiskey Run, the company owns nearly everything-houses, wages, even time itself. Childhood ends early, especially if the wage earner of the family dies in a mining accident.
Fourteen-year-old Sadie Nicklin is charged with caring for the Landon's' infant son, a task that binds her to the mine manager's family who live in the big house above the mining village. In that white house above the town, she becomes essential yet unseen-nursemaid, servant, scapegoat. She learns quickly how little power a girl can hold-and how much strength she must summon to endure.
Still, Sadie clings to a fragile ambition: to reach Pittsburgh, to gain an education, and to claim a life of her own. But in a place where survival demands obedience, every small act of defiance carries a dangerous cost.
Whiskey Run is a vivid coming-of-age story set in an early twentieth-century mining town, where grit, quiet rebellion, and hope become the tools of survival.
