Description
It's 1905 in Bisbee, Arizona and copper is queen.
Brenna McEvoy's husband vanishes in the Sonoran Desert while seeking his own copper claim. Presumed dead, he
leaves her alone to shelter three small children. Despite her privileged, white lifestyle, funds continue to dwindle, and
Brenna worries she will be destitute before she can find the means to sustain her family.
Her only feasible plan emerges, and she transforms her charming Victorian home into a boarding house for the
local miners. Brenna learns firsthand how bigotry and hate leads to suffering. When the miners decide to unionize,
they are met with violent resistance. As a woman, she can do little to end the injustice. But that doesn't keep her from
fighting back.
When she acknowledges her love for a working man from a different race, Brenna is shunned by her own kind. Left
to choose between the rules of society or to follow her heart, the nightbird's haunting song reminds her we are strengthened by the struggles we survive and the love that carries us forward.
Based on true events surrounding the illegal Bisbee Deportation of 1917.
