This second volume opens in March of I912. We follow Nell, the child born at the turn of the century in The Curtain Rises and her older sister Peggy, who has turned her hobby of photography into a profession, as they travel to Lawrence, Massachusetts for coverage of the famous IWW textile strike. The plight of the working poor, as well as issues of women's sufferage weave in and out of this fast-paced story that contrasts the worlds of the haves and have nots. The sinking of the Titanic plays a role in the story, as does the wireless radio, the popularity of the ouija board, and the changing attitudes of women.
