About This Book

A young, affluent woman who inherits control of a large mill confronts a sudden strike that exposes the effects of managerial change and long-standing labor grievances. Initially indifferent, she becomes increasingly aware of how the business shifted from her grandfather's paternal oversight to distant, professional administration, and how that shift affected workers' lives. The narrative follows her moral and practical responses as she weighs family interests, employer obligations, and proposals for reform, examining social responsibility, class tensions, and the complexities of philanthropy and industrial authority.
