So Far From Home: the Diary of Mary Driscoll, an Irish Mill Girl, Lowell, Massachusetts, 1847 by Barry Denenberg

4.0

The Lowell Mills have always been a source of fascination for me. The book did a good job of portraying concepts like famine, immigration, and civil unrest in ways that are informative but not too dark for young readers. Overall, a compelling read!
