Book Description
Great protest novels arise in every era: "The Grapes of Wrath," "1984",: The Jungle", and now, "Steam Drills, Treadmills, and Shooting Stars". In this novel, fact and fiction march hand-in-hand together across the American landscape as the ghost of the legendary John Henry haunts Jim Dalton, a corporate lawyer for Standard Coal, and young Henrietta Owens, an activist and mother who captivates the nation with some tough-loving truth about the environment, the economy, justice and hope. From the ghost of John Henry to the Revolutionary Table, the Tightrope Walking Woman, and the Primetime Gladiator, the Prince of Nothing Who Comes From Nowhere, and the Midwife on the Front Line of Birth and Death, this epic myth of our time stars our selves and our neighbors in an answer to the silent prayers of the American people. This is a protest novel. It is designed to wake-up God in the heavens, shake the devil down in hell and rattle all the people in between. You will have a lot of fun.
