“Readers who appreciate stories about solidarity, community action, and the power of ordinary people working together will likely enjoy this book.”
-- Michele Klawitter

“Getting Back Our Stolen Bootstraps” book cover with Peoples’ Union striking workers on a picket line carrying protest signs in a fiery dystopian setting. This is a novel about workers successfully resisting fascism.
