Gabrielle Picard remembered the 'long train ride' from Quebec to Connecticut in 1924. She was four years old when her parents and their twelve children emigrated to Taftville, the location of the famous Ponemah Mill-known for its steady work, fair wages, and good housing. Ahead, the Ponemah years would be etched by loss, but also brim with hope, hard work, and heroes. This is Gabrielle's story of becoming a weaver in the 1940s, and her daughter's journey to know her better. The narrative weaves biography, history, memoir, and family portrait. It features 184 images from more than 10 decades. Softcover, 100 pages.
