Coal river / Ellen Marie Wiseman.
As a child Emma Malloy left isolated Coal River, Pennsylvania, vowing never to return. Now, orphaned and penniless, she travels back to the rough-hewn community where she is treated like a servant by her relatives, working for free in the company store. Miners and their impoverished families must pay inflated prices for food, clothing, and tools, while those who owe money are turned away to starve. As the lines blur between what is legal and what is just, Emma must risk everything to follow her conscience.
