In a voice spiked with sly humor, Sylvie Pelletier recounts leaving her family's snowbound mountain cabin to work in a manor house for the Padgetts, owners of the marble-mining company that employs her father and dominates the town. Sharp-eyed Sylvie is awed by the luxury around her; fascinated by her employer, the charming "Countess" Inge, and confused by the erratic affections of Jasper, the bookish heir to the family fortune. Her fairy-tale ideas of romance take a dark turn when she realizes the Padgetts' lofty philosophical talk is at odds with the unfair labor practices that have enriched them. Their servants, the Gradys, formerly enslaved people, have long known this to be true and are making plans to form a utopian community on the Colorado prairie. Outside the manor walls, the town of Moonstone is roiling with discontent. A handsome union organizer, along with labor leader Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, is stirring up the quarry workers. The editor of the local newspaper--a bold woman who takes Sylvie on as an apprentice--is publishing unflattering accounts of the Padgett Company. Sylvie navigates vastly different worlds and struggles to find her way amid conflicting loyalties. When the harsh winter brings tragedy, Sylvie must choose between silence and revenge. Drawn from true stories of Colorado history, Gilded Mountain is a tale of a bygone American West seized by robber barons and settled by immigrants, and is a story infused with longing--for self-expression and equality, freedom and adventure"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Household employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social justice $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colorado $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women household employees $z Colorado $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Quarries and quarrying $z Colorado $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Jones, $c Mother, $d 1837-1930 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social conflict $z Colorado $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a Large type books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992678 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print core series. 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011312.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20230622011047.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20230602011542.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230404010502.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230321010750.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230302012333.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230214010542.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20230210031347.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B91CC4CA91111ED97CFA77040ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LRXInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
