This is a pretty good book. It is a little slow at the beginning but once I got into it I wanted to finish it and I do want to read the others in the series.

Good story. Interesting to read how hard the women worked when the looms were introduced in the U.S. Great character development.

This is a great copy, read only once by me.

Lilly Armbruster resents the mills that have come to Lowell, and feels that they caused the premature death of her father. Forced to take employment in the mills she despises, her mind is set upon revenge against the industry. When her former fiance becomes involved with the industry she despises, her feelings are conflicted and she questions her ideals further. Will her faith save her? You'll only find out if you read the book. ;o)

The Industrial Revolution sweeping across the land and the extraordinary changes to society and families. A unique portrayal of the drama, intrigue and even romance to be found among the mill girls.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Book 1 of THE BELLS OF LOWELL. The mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, comes to life with intrigue and drama from the creative writing team of Judith Miller and Tracie Peterson. Young women at the end of the 19th century seek employment from driven men intent on transforming America's textile industry. Daughtersof the Loom features Lilly Armbruster, who is forced to work in the mills as her only means for survival. But Lilly's resentment runs deep against the "lords of the loom"- The men she believes have stolen her father's farm and caused his premature death. Her animosity happens to include Matthew Cheever, her childhood friend and one-time betrothed. Though separated by their opposing views about the future of the mill and the community that surrounds it, the emotions of their hearts still bind them. Will their dreams for the future allow their fragile love to survive?

This is pretty easy reading, but very enjoyable.

Great read!
