The local mill rats

Audio books are something we devour here. Sometimes they capture all our attention, leading us on a path we never would expect. Leading to a book list at the library, exploring websites, playing new games. Such is the case at the moment. Dressed in their 'mill rat' costumes;pants, suspenders and newspaper boy hats, they are busy sorting spools of thread and planning a way to escape on the train to Canada where children are not allowed to work in a factory. The historical fiction Counting on Grace written by Elizabeth Winthrop is the place this new journey began.
