Counting On Grace Book Review

It is 1910 Vermont. Grace Forcier is a twelve year old girl working in the laborious Cotton Mills. It’s all she knows, the town is owned by the mill after all, and her parents and grandfather moved to America for work. She knows that the mill is all her life will ever be, but her friend Arthur isn't so resigned. With the help of the schoolteacher, Mrs. Lesley, the three begin to hatch a plan that might just change their lives. Soon, a man with a camera turns up to photograph the kids next to the giant machines, with Grace as his unlikely ally.
