Glow (The Plated Prisoner Series Book 4)

Product Information

At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about Lydia's POV being told through her letters to her beau Walter. As I read, I realized these snippets of her life lead to the build-up of finding out what happened to her and her family. Their story was definitely a tear-jerker. I'm struggling with how to rate this book. On one hand, I enjoyed it and flew through it, even though I'd already read one of the books in the bibliography and knew exactly what was causing the mysterious illnesses at the factory from the very start. The story was compelling.

Although the focus on the modern day story does takes precedence over the historical story, there is still some really interesting historical facts. I just wanted more there. I wanted to get to know the historical characters better and wanted more detail about their lives and the difficulties they faced from working in the factory. This vitality-boosting, mood-enhancing treatment uses energising massage movements andoptimised pressure tosweep away stress andhelp rebalance body andmind. After, your skin will look radiant andyour body will feel recalibrated. Julie, who's world has just crashed around her, finds some old paintings in thrift stores and discovers a hidden secret in them when the lights go out. She becomes obsessed with her "summer project" of recreating the art and finding out who the artist is. However, she soon realizes there is something more sinister in the glowing artwork... something that may put Julie and those she loves at risk. Julie's "find" is tied to another story revolving around the "Radium Girls" and their lives and loves during World War I. Eventually, it all comes full circle and the two stories merge together.

GLOW Wrexham is situated in Charles Street, where it is quiet, discreet and convenient. There are ample parking facilities nearby. Phone I do have a couple of complaints. For one, why is Julie friends with Lauren? Lauren is selfish, stubborn, and rude. I feel like the tension between Lauren and Julie was unnecessary to the plot. I have a love hate relationship with Glow, an upcoming young adult novel from Megan E. Bryant. Earlier this year, I read The Radium Girls by Kate Moore - an absolutely horrifying account of injustices committed against young women under the guise of patriotism. Before Moore, I cannot recall ever hearing about the dial painters. This book provides a fictional account based heavily on true stories about the girls that met their untimely demise.

While Julie's story offers an plot that appeals to younger readers, I feel Glow would have worked just fine without it. For that purpose, I'm caught between a three and a four on this book. Ultimately, I lean toward the latter and must applaud Bryant on the amount of research she obviously put into writing this book. Julie's story is unbelievable and full of things that I simply have no interest in, but the haunting tale that the Grayson sisters weave is horrifying.The first ever GlasGLOW Relaxed Session will take place on Thurs 2nd November at 5pm giving anyone with sensory difficulties the chance to enjoy a quieter GlasGLOW experience with reduced capacities and a lower sound level.

I loved so much about 'Glow'. I loved the characters of Liza and Lydia. Both their stories and personalities really brought life to the novel. Their younger sister Charlotte's passion to become one of the dial painters, like her sisters, really illustrated why women would want to work in the dial factories at this time. My one and only complaint with 'Glow' is that I would have liked to know more about Liza, Lydia, and Charlotte's mother. She was mentioned a few times but not really part of the story. I found my self-wondering how she was feeling about everything. Although this is a young adult book I feel that it should be aimed at the older teenager, as the story unfolds we come face to face with the horrific effects of exposure to radium. Looking for a heart-warming date night or fun evening out with friends? If yes, our Friday lates are just the thing.

Soldiers involved in trench warfare were especially in need of watches that could be seen in complete darkness. The harmful effects of radium were not yet known. Factories that produced the luminescent dials were set up Orange, New Jersey, Ottawa, Illinois, and Waterbury, Connecticut. These factories employed young girls and women to paint the numbers and hands with radium. Enter the radium girls.
