Will the dam hold?
Julie Wallace has always wanted to write. Trying to escape the Great Depression, Julie’s father buys the Alderton Sentinel, a small-town newspaper in flood-prone Alderton, Pennsylvania, and moves his family there. As flash floods ominously increase, Julie’s investigative reporting uncovers secrets that could endanger the entire community.
Julie, the newspaper, and her family are thrown into a perilous standoff with the owners of the steel mills as they investigate the conditions of the immigrant laborers. As the Alderton Sentinel and Julie take on a more aggressive role to reform these conditions, seething tensions come to a head.
When a devastating tragedy follows a shocking revelation, Julie’s courage and strength are tested. Will truth and justice win, or will Julie lose everything she holds dear?

Excerpt
In my journal I logged this comment: “On the day that I was officially a grown woman, I felt anything but feminine rather, befouled from the sweat of hard physical labor and the stinking mud. I wanted nothing so much as to sleep for a week.”

oh my, this sounds like a page turner. i loved historical stories.
This sure sounds like such an intriguing page turner! Thanks for sharing with us!
I’m interested to read about this time period. My grandparents raised me and they went through the depression so I’ve heard some about it.
I look forward to reading this one. I honestly haven’t read much at all involving the Great Depression era. This sounds so good!
I remember enjoying this book when I read it as a teen!
I’d love to read Julie! Thank you for the chance.
