Summary

Catherine Donohue's life was set on a an unexpected course when she accepted a job at Radium Dial. The pay was great, and her co-workers became her best friends. But a secret was lurking in the greenish-grey paint that magically made things glow in the dark. When Catherine and her friends started becoming sick, this shy Catholic girl stood up to the might of the radium industry, the legal and medical communities, and townspeople who told her to be quiet. Would she be too late? Catherine's quest for social justice in the era between World Wars is emotive and inspiring.

Beautifully written

The tragic story of the Radium girls is brought to life vividly in this wonderfully written and told story. Samantha Wilcoxson is fast becoming a rising star in the world of historical fiction. A must for those interested in stories of social injustices.
