Counting on Grace

I recently read Counting on Grace by Elizabeth Winthrop. The book was about a girl named Grace and her family who lived in Vermont and they worked in the mill. Grace meets a boy named Arthur and they become friends. They went to the same school on Sundays and were taught by Miss Lesley because during the week, they worked in the mill. A photographer comes to the mill, and he takes pictures of the kids because they are doing dangerous work and they shouldn't be working there. I thought the book was good, although it was hard to get into, and the vocabulary was sometimes challenging because of the use of foreign words. Knowing what they had to go through because they needed money was interesting. People who like history or fiction would probably enjoy this novel which is based on a true story.
