Book
Published
Maddie's sewing brings her into the homes of tobacco executives' wives, giving her an unusual view of a town dependent on one industry. Producing beautiful gowns is both demanding work and a way of learning which questions wealth prefers not to hear. This is an accessible coming-of-age story with corporate secrets and threatened livelihoods. A good choice for seeing how a young worker's ambition can coexist with discomfort about the source of her customers' money.
