Deborah Frontiera’s Living on Sisu: The 1913 Union Copper Strike Tragedy is a compelling novel for young adult readers which follows the adventures and experiences of twelve-year-old Emma Neimi and her family and community who are caught up in the 1913-14 strike in thecopper district of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula.

Sponsored by Modern History Press, Moravian Sons Distillery @moraviansons and Doc Chavent.

Frontiera has done an excellent job of exploring the history of the strike through Emma’s diary which follows all the key event and

issues in the strike, including the false call of fire which caused the death of seventy-three (sic.), primarily children of those attending a Christmas Eve party for strikers’ families.

An audio book is also available.
