This is a very strange high interest, low reading level book about industrial accidents and standing up to sexist co-workers that one of my colleagues found in our Adult Education section. Kind of a Norma Rae story, but something about the writing style sometimes makes it seem unintentionally creepy, like things are about to get Lynchian.
