Publisher's summary

It's 1911, and Lily's plans for her factory are not progressing as fast as she would like. Maria, her sister Rosa, and friend Leonie are still working at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Maria and Conrad have agreed it's pointless finding new jobs when they will soon be joining Lily's factory. Rosa can think of nothing but her upcoming marriage, and Leonie worries how she is going to look after her four siblings when their mother falls very ill.

Frieda is fighting barriers at the hospital. It seems some doctors believe being female and becoming a doctor are not compatible despite her achieving high marks in the recent exams. Will she be allowed to qualify or have her dreams come to a standstill?

After Alice's experience, Lily is having major doubts about sending children on the orphan trains. But when a major disaster happens, does she have any choice?

SHOCKED for words and so much more

OMG OMG OMG what an action packed gripping on the edge of your seat not stopping 1 time for anything MUST read!!!
All I can say is I was especially SHOCKED on all the characters and especially that Epilogue!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Let those characters still be apart of this amazing adventure. I tell you, These characters are well established and like part of my family... You get SOOOO engrossed with them, The tears, the struggles, the happily ever after's and loving hearing about an update on other characters from the previous novels.
Absolutely remarkable and well written novel that is full of key and valuable information that we want to continue and especially with this astounding Narrator.
Please keep this series going!!!

I could not finish

I could not finish listening to this book. The narrator was awful, in my opinion. It was like she had something better to do and was rushing through the book to just get it done. No inflection, she was just reading the words as fast as she could. Since this is book 6 in a series I haven't read from the beginning I may have missed out on something, but I will never listen to another book read by this narrator again.
