  Revolution Songs

  Carissa Halton

  Set in a 1930s Rocky Mountain mining town, this debut historical novel was inspired by the little-known story of a Communist union, the rise of the Canadian Ku Klux Klan, and the women who fought on both sides, women such as young Annie Jalmer, who becomes an unwilling double agent for opposing Communists and Fascist forces until a violent strike forces her to take a stand, and Emmeline Webb, the wife of the chief of the police.
