Now, orphaned and penniless at nineteen, she accepts a train ticket from her aunt and uncle and travels back to the rough-hewn community. Treated like a servant by her relatives, Emma works for free in the company store. There, miners and their impoverished families must pay inflated prices for food, clothing, and tools, while those who owe money are turned away to starve. <br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Most heartrending of all are the breaker boys Emma sees around the village\u2014young children who toil all day sorting coal amid treacherous machinery. Their soot-stained faces remind Emma of the little brother she lost long ago, and she begins leaving stolen food on families\u2019 doorsteps, and marking the miners\u2019 bills as paid. <br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Though Emma\u2019s actions draw ire from the mine owner and police captain, they lead to an alliance with a charismatic miner who offers to help her expose the truth.
