A compelling story about love, hope, and sacrifice… Our story begins in 1909 with Nellie O'Rourke, a young Irish-American whose faith and enduring belief in the good side of human nature carry her through her difficult coming-of-age years. Her values and ambitions compel her to become a suffragette and a college graduate. When the United States enters World War I, danger in the mines thousands of feet below the surface heightens as men work around the clock. A fire breaks out in the Granite Mountain mine. Quinn, Nellie’s husband, becomes one of the many fatalities after saving twenty-five fellow miners. Nellie must call upon all her strength, faith, and hope as she waits to hear the fate of her beloved. Based on an extraordinary true story, The Price of Copper is meticulously researched and beautifully rendered-a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.
