Set in 1903 Barre, Vermont, How Long a Shadow is a richly researched historical novel rooted in the immigrant labor movement of the American granite industry. As mal d' america devastates stonecutters and union strikes divide the town, twenty-year-old Rosina Bottinelli seeks a life beyond the narrow expectations of marriage. Apprenticing as a midwife, she confronts the physical and moral stakes of women's work while a growing political rift between her unionist father and his capitalist brother threatens to fracture her family.Against a backdrop of labor unrest, public health crisis, and early suffrage activism, Rosina must decide where she stands-- and what it will cost her to step out of the shadows and shape her own future.
