Subject: Liddie

I read the book Liddie and I think that is a great book. I would really recomend reading it. It is about a young girl from Vermont whoes father abandoneds her and her sibilings. She has to move to Lowel Massachusetts to work in the mills so she can help pay off their debt. I liked it because it really showed what life was like for the girls in the mills. Many girls that Liddie knew where sick- her room mate, her sister, she even got sick at one point in the book. So even though the girls got paid well and worked hard they still had to go through many hardships in the mills.

rating- *****
