Summary "Derrick Sterling: A Story of the Mines" by Kirk Munroe is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the life of young Derrick Sterling, who is forced to confront the harsh realities of life after the death of his father, a mining engineer. The story begins with Derrick, now working as a breaker boy in a coal mine, as he faces dangerous situations and the struggles of his new life while also trying to support his family. At the start of the narrative, Derrick is seen working in the breaker alongside other boys, including his friend Paul Evert, who is physically disabled. The opening depicts a frantic fire in the breaker that threatens the lives of the boys, emphasizing Derrick’s bravery as he fights to save Paul from the flames.
