A Place Called Freedom by Ken Follett

I am really getting into Follett's books.  He tells such a great story and pulls you in so you feel like you are right there.  This is about a coal miner in Scotland who learns that he can be free from this even though the mine owner thinks otherwise.  It is also about a privileged woman who learns about some of these injustices and tries to do something about it even though it is looked down upon.  The book follows them the England and then over to Virginia.  The strength and courage shown by the main characters and what they were willing to do for what they thought was right made you root for them.  Follett has a way of really making you think about the time period he is writing about and just does an awesome job.
