But an assignment to cover FDR's campaign--and write a feature on his wife, Eleanor--turns Hick's hard-won independent life on its ear. Soon her work, and the secret entanglement with the new first lady, will take her from New York and Washington to Scotts Run, West Virginia, where impoverished coal miners' families wait in fear that the New Deal's promised hope will pass them by. Together, Eleanor and Hick imagine how the new town of Arthurdale could change the fate of hundreds of lives. But doing what is right does not come cheap, and Hick will pay in ways she never could have imagined. Undiscovered Country artfully mixes fact and fiction to portray the intense relationship between this unlikely pair. Inspired by the historical record, including the more than three thousand letters Hick and Eleanor exchanged over a span of thirty years, McNees tells this story through Hick's tough, tender, and unforgettable voice. A remarkable portrait of Depression-era America, this novel tells the poignant story of how a love that was forced to remain hidden nevertheless changed history. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Eleanor, $d 1884-1962 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Eleanor, $d 1884-1962 $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Eleanor, $d 1884-1962 $x Friends and associates $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Hickok, Lorena A. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reporters and reporting $x Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Coal miners $z West Virginia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a New Deal, 1933-1939 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Presidents' spouses $z United States $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 1932 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 11 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710040915.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020908.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014429.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013355.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909050032.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806015137.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114122.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180907013419.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180906013854.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20180427011943.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180404010227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7509D1F237CD11E89B29A1FF96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
