Book excerpt:  Call Home the Heart (1932) is the story of Ishma Waycaster, a poor woman who, pregnant for the third time and discouraged by the endless struggle of rural life in the Great Smoky Mountains, flees to a mill town, where she becomes involved in union organizing and a bloody strike (modeled on the Gastonia strike of 1929). Burke (1869-1968) provides a remarkably honest portrayal of the conflicts between Ishma's sexual and emotional needs and her intellectual and political loyalties, and of the racial issues raised by the strike.
