Praise for A Dangerous Woman: Mother Jones, An Unsung American Heroine:
Pat McEachen, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I feel it's a privilege to know the life of Mother Jones, a courageous woman who lived through the Chicago fire, the Irish Potato Famine, and the Yellow Fever epidemic and organized workers in the early days of the labor movement.
Marcy Heidish is a talented storyteller who has the creative skill to transport the reader on an emotional journey as well as a factual one. I lived the love, sadness, suspense, fear and satisfaction that Mother Jones experienced during her extraordinary life.
Lisa Scourtas, Amazon.com Book Reviewer: I had never heard of Mother Jones before. Public schools, in my time, never taught anything about brave, strong and outspoken women. History was always about military conquests by men and their battles.
Marcy Heidish brings to life, in her first person narrative, the story about a most extraordinary woman of strength and character. Her flowing prose easily draws you into the world of Mother Jones, where your heart and head feel like you were right there beside her in her harrowing and heartbreaking moments. A real page-turner, it prompts you to learn more about this dynamic and amazing woman of steel who had channeled the devastation of her life catastrophes into a positive power that helped to change the lives of so many others.
A phenomenal read. I highly recommend it!
