Friend against friend. Labor union riots are destroying the city and Rachel and Sam are right in the middle of it. Both have good friends on both sides of the issue – friends who won’t speak to one another without fighting now that their dads are involved in the battle. Rachel and Sam know that God calls us to show love to one another even when we don’t agree on everything, but how can they convince their friends of that? | Extra Notes: | This book deals with the 1889 Labor Movement, focusing in on the Easter riots and the rivalry between the street car workers and the owner of the company in Minneapolis. It deals with the issue of showing love to one another, even when it’s not easy, when someone is different than you, or on an opposite side of an issue from you. The Sisters In Time series does it's best to tell a historically accurate story about a young girl in a different time period. The goal is for young girls to see the similarities between themselves and the girls back in history. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 3 |
