Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Storming Heaven is a 1987 novel by Denise Giardina set during the central Appalachian coal labor strife of the early 1900s and leading up to the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921. Despite being a work of fiction, the novel takes inspiration from real life events such as the Matewan Massacre and the murder of Sid Hatfield. Four point of view characters narrate the story: C.J. Marcum: A radical West Virginia native who saw his land taken by the coal companies as a child and dreams of restoring it to the people. Carrie Bishop: A headstrong woman from eastern Kentucky who becomes a nurse in the coal camps. Rondal Lloyd: A stubborn, free-spirited man turned fugitive after witnessing the death of a miner by Baldwin-Felts guards. Rosa Angelelli: An immigrant from Italy who weds an Italian miner and works as a housekeeper for chief coal operator Lytton Davidson.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The novel is often included in Appalachian high school reading curriculums because of its historically accurate representation of a dark and often overlooked time in American history. Compare it to the movie Matewan. | |

Corrupt Hick: Inverted. Storming Heaven, being written by a West Virginian author, is one of few works that actually gives the Appalachian side of the story. On the opposite end, the coal companies are negligent and apathetic about the lives of their workers, which is much truer to history. | |
