About this title

Book Description:

"The genius of Like a Family lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family--particularly women--into the history of the cotton-mill world. . . . This eloquent reconstruction of the cotton mill world allows us to understand and to pay homage to those who fought and lost."--Ira Berlin, New York Times Book Review
