Bread and Roses Too by Katherine Paterson

Not quite where to start with this book. I recently had the pleasure to hear this author speak, WOW! From Bridge to Terabithia to Jacob I Have Loved to The Great Gilly Hopkins, if your young adolescent reader has not tried any of these books, see what you can do! Her latest is powerful. NY Times review says - "This is a book charged with the power of real and enduring issues; it is also radiant with grace and hope." Amazon readers give it 5 stars. Even a guide for discussion points and activities - http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/readers_guides/paterson_bread.shtml Here is a link to the actual event in Lawrence MA - http://www.ask.com/wiki/1912_Lawrence_Textile_Strike?o=2800&qsrc=999
