The Children of Steel collection shows that engaging fiction of place is possible even for what some call less "scenic" places. But these places have heart! This collection is a way that people from steel mill communities share fiction based upon lives that they, their parents, and grandparents have known. In some of the stories in this collection, the steel mills are highlighted. In other stories, the mills may only be a constant part of the surroundings and a backdrop. But in all cases, these are stories that only can come from those with direct experience of being the children of steel. These contributions are from Jeff Manes, Joan Paylo, Kathy Bashaar, Karen Banks Pearson, Patrick Michael Finn, Sharon Hale Hotko, Curtis Mazzaferri, Barbara Dubos, Joseph S. Pete, Kurt Samano, John Szostek, Hardarshan Sing Valia, Connie Wachala, Alice Whittenburg, Stacy Alderman, Robert McKean, Phyllis Woods, Bianca Roman, Jane Ammeson, and Gloria Ptacek McMillan.… (más)
The colorful, nostalgic stories in Children of Steel, while fiction, parallel the true histories of the communities they are set in. While I don't live in a steel town, I've lived in the same regions as some, in an era during which some of these tales took place, and the most of the authors seem to be writing what they know. The writing styles are as varied as their subjects, most of which I found entertaining. and the writer biographies at the end can be mined for further reading material from the authors you like. I can't say the editor's introduction resonated with me, but I'm grateful she assembled this book. ( )

We dedicate Children of Steel to everybody in that industrial “village” (however big or small) who worked so hard to help us make it into adulthood, so that we could write these stories.
