About this listen
Following the death of their father, Grace O’Connell and her twin brother Patrick battle to keep their family afloat as the Great Depression takes its toll on New York City.
After losing her dancing job and with Patrick injured while working on the construction of the Empire State Building, Grace is forced to take a bold step disguising herself as Patrick to join the riveters on the half-built skyscraper.
She quickly proves herself as capable as any man on the steel, and her affection for the loyal men around her—especially Italian immigrant Joe—grows by the day. But when a terrible accident happens, Grace is the only one capable of saving her stranded colleague and must make a split-second decision to risk everything or live with her guilt forever.
Set against the dynamic backdrop of 1930s New York, this “gorgeous, evocative” (Kerry Barrett, author of The Book of Last Letters) historical fiction novel is full of heart and hope, family and friendship, and the sacrifices we make for those we love.
