Counting on Grace (DCF)


It’s 1910 in Pownal, Vermont. At 12, Grace and her best friend Arthur must go to work in the mill, helping their mothers work the looms. Together Grace and Arthur write a secret letter to the Child Labor Board about underage children working in the mill. A few weeks later Lewis Hine, a famous reformer, arrives undercover to gather evidence.
