Under Ground tells the story of young Katka Kovich, who leaves the only home she's ever known for a new life across the ocean. Soon she finds herself on the rough and tumble Iron Range, where she joins a community of poor immigrant workers who are brutally exploited by the mining company. This spellbinding tale of an immigrant uprising chronicles the attack on labor unions, the dehumanization of workers, and the use of fear to dismantle civil liberties. While the themes are monumental and echo to today, the experience of this young woman grounds the reader in the human face behind all movements. Young Katka reminds us that there are things worth dying for, but more importantly, there are things to live for.
