Overview

A story of female friendship and strength set against corporate corruption.

Catherine's life is set on an unexpected course when she accepts a job at Radium Dial. She soon finds out that the excellent pay is no recompense for the evil secret that lurks in the magical glow-in-the-dark paint. Catherine Donohoe takes on the might of a big corporation and becomes an early pioneer of social justice in the era between world wars.

Emotive and inspiring - this book will touch you like no other as you witness the devastating impact of radium poisoning on young women's lives.

It's too late for me, but maybe it will help some of the others.
~ Catherine Wolfe Donohue
