Rosa is not sure Mamma should go on strike with the other millworkers. According to her teacher, the strikers are a violent, uneducated mob. Jake is on strike, but mostly to spite his abusive father, who doesn't want him associating with the Italian immigrants organizing the walkout. Both are certain of one thing: either way, they are starving. Here is a story of the 1912 Lawrence mill strike and the Italian granite-working community of Barre, Vermont, that took in some of the strikers' children to help the cause. Winner of the 2007 Christopher Award.
