Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a gripping exploration of social disparities in the late 19th century American industrial landscape. It centers around the life of Justine Brent, a dedicated nurse whose work in a hospital brings her face-to-face with the tragic consequences of factory accidents. When she tends to a severely injured worker, she becomes aware of his dire home situation, leading her to investigate the grim conditions faced by mill workers.
