A sweeping tale of a Holland, Michigan, Dutch schoolteacher and an
Upper Peninsula Finnish copper miner during the turbulent times of
the 1913 Keweenaw Peninsula copper miner's strike and their
daughter Kiasa, named for a victim of Calumet's Italian Hall
Tragedy. Born of the Michigan copper mines, Kaisa's saga traces her
life to the 1930s oil boomtown of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, where her
life is changed by Michigan's worst oilfield disaster. At Mackinac
Island, Michigan, her chance encounter with a member of the wealthy
Maurice family ultimately leads her to Jekyll Island, Georgia, in
1942. At Jekyll Island, where the Millionaires Club is breaking up
because of the Nazi U-Boat threat to members' safety, Kaisa finds
love and intrigue.
