Gripping Novel Addresses Immigration Reform and Social Justice

Snooker Glen, the groundbreaking novel by D. F. Whipple, explores the problems a rural Kentucky community faces during a mine strike and argues for immigration reform. Rich in character, the novel is as entertaining as it is eye-opening and educational.

Immigration reform is arguably the hottest issue in the United States today, with a groundswell of interest at the populist level. Like Upton Sinclair's famous novel The Jungle, Snooker Glen pries open the tinderbox of a social problem in need of reform. The book also touches on the importance of mine safety, a topic with which all mine workers are familiar.

Whipple's book presents the story of Esther Owens, a Kentucky widow with three children who is torn between her need for security and her desire to do what's right for her community. But when a mine strike occurs, and immigrants from Eastern Europe are brought in, the community is soon torn apart with fear and anger.

At turns humorous and humane, Snooker Glen suggests that social justice is far more complex that anyone could ever imagine. Whipple's characters, from the passionate Esther Owens to the sum of the immigrants, bristle with life. Gorgeously written, this is a story torn from today's headlines -- one that explores immigration, bias and the rocky terrain of the human heart with equal aplomb.

"Besides being a good read and a treat for immigration reformers, this book has the potential to provoke introspection by readers who have never thought much about immigration."
