The Radium Girls: Young Readers' Edition: The Scary But True Story of the Poison That Made People Glow in the Dark by Kate Moore

DID NOT FINISH: 1%

---

From YouTube I knew about the radium girls and their story. I initially checked out this book because I wanted to know more about them, hear their story in depth. But I never got around to reading it because something told me I wouldn’t be able to get through it. Maybe someday in the future I’ll decide to pick up the book and properly give these women the attention their stories deserve. But now I’m in a place where I need content that will help me escape reality, not remind me of how awful this world can be.
