5.0

The story follows three very different characters who end up in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. The book leads up to this tragedy, illustrating the strikes, the greed of the bosses, the helplessness of the workers, the community that can be built amongst different people who come from different places. I have read this book countless times and it always draws me back in.
