Summary of Denise Kiernan's The Girls of Atomic City
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Celia was always up for a change of scenery, and this trip was not her first. Her hair was a deep brown, not quite as black as the coal ash that coated life in the Pennsylvania town she had left behind: Shenandoah. It was a town about 100 miles and roughly the equivalent in light-years from Philadelphia.
#2 Celia had a secret job working for the Project in New York City. She was not allowed to ask questions, and she was told only what she needed to know to get where she was going. She was not allowed to know anything about her destination.
#3 The Szapka family had endured their share of difficulties, but they persevered. Complaining would not help secure the safe return of Celia's brothers Al and Clem. It wouldn't make her father's work any more steady or clear his persistent cough.
#4 Celia's brother Ed was the only one who stayed in Texas. He was the oldest, and she loved him the most. She did everything she could to help the war effort, from cleaning to working in the mines.
