SUMMARY
Call Home the Heart (1932) is the story of Ishma Waycaster, a poor woman who, pregnant for the third time and discouraged by the endless struggle of rural life in the Great Smoky Mountains, flees to a mill town, where she becomes involved in union organizing and a bloody strike (modeled on the Gastonia strike of 1929). Burke (1869-1968) provides a remarkably honest portrayal of the conflicts between Ishma's sexual and emotional needs and her intellectual and political loyalties, and of the racial issues raised by the strike.Burke, Fielding is the author of 'Call Home the Heart: A Novel of the Thirties' with ISBN 9781558614000 and ISBN 1558614001.
