Résumé

Bitter Cry is the eighth novel in the Sage Adair historical mystery series set in the early 1900's. Once again, we have an action-packed mystery that uses actual historical facts of social concern. Sage Adair, an undercover operative for the labor movement, is waiting to learn his next assignment when a young newsboy crosses his path. What follows is a journey into the dark corners of Sage's own past and into a present that includes, kidnapping, murder, and greed.
When his heart gets captured by an earnest, elfin face, Sage finds himself battling child labor exploitation. What was life like for the impoverished child working as a newsboy, messenger, or childminder? Sage finds out, one heart tug at time. Fortunately, others he encounters show him, and us, that hope is found in the actions of the progressives. Many of the story's characters are based on actual progressives, people who changed the course of history.
S. L. Stoner has long pursued social and economic justice. She's fought the "good" fight standing beside many others in prisons, free clinics, neighborhood and labor organizations. The FBI and local police have honored these efforts by producing thousands of pages detailing her activities. Stoner holds beliefs contrary to the adage that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Instead, she believes that some historical actions need repeating and that ordinary peoples' history, if known, is both empowering and inspiring.
Writing in the tradition of historian Howard Zinn, she tells the stories of how ordinary people's heroic, sacrificial and effective actions changed history. She uses fast-paced fiction to make that story both entertaining and memorable.
