    Summary

    In 1912 Lawrence, Massachusetts, Lupe is a struggling wool mill operative when Jess arrives in town as a union organizer with the IWW. Together, they fight for better wages and conditions alongside dignity and beauty.

    "Now the flood of words crackles with emotion, Lu’s voice nearly breaking. 'I wonder if my family would be surprised at me now – that I marvel at the strength of my heart. That I can name what I desire and what I fear.'

    'Show me,' Jess whispers, half-dare and half-plea."
