<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When your dreams finally seem to be coming true, it's hard to trust them.</p><p><br></p><p>It's been four years since seventeen-year-old Ruth set eyes on her fiance. After surviving near-starvation, revolution and a long trip across the stormy ocean, she can't help but wonder: Will Abraham still love her? Or has America changed him?</p><p>Nowhere's as full of change as 1909 New York. From moving pictures to daring clothes to the ultra-modern Triangle Shirtwaist Factory where she gets a job, everything exhilarates Ruth. When the New World even seems to rejuvenate her bond with Abraham, she is filled with hope for their prospects and the future of their war-torn families.</p><p><br></p><p>But when she makes friends and joins the labor movement-fighting for rights of the mostly female workers against the powerful factory owners-something happens she never expected. She realizes <em>she</em> might be the one America is changing. And she just might be leaving Abraham behind.</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Girl in the Triangle</em> is an immigration story that will appeal to fans of <em>Brooklyn </em>by Colm Toibin and <em>The Queen of the Big Time</em> by Adriana Trigiani. It questions what it means to be an American, and what is the true meaning of strength.</p>
