'A relentlessly fast-paced, admirably observed novel of social unrest and the story of a young man's struggle for identity.'

Set in California apple country in the 1930s, nine hundred migratory workers rise up and join forces to protest unfair wages and working conditions. As the labor strike wears on and conflict grows between the apple pickers and the local growers' association, what begins as a fight for their rights turns into an all-out battle for survival.

"Great strike novel. The story hits the ground running and the tension can be felt up until the very last page. This is a story of struggle: both the struggle of men fighting for a better tomorrow, and the internal struggle of men trying to justify just how they fight for it."
