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

5.0

Great for young readers. Follows Mary as she leaves Ireland aboard a ship (which is miserable) and arrives Lowell, Massachusetts to work in a textile mill. Great reminder of how the Irish faced much discrimination. Today's arguments about immigration are nothing new.
