It was tragic also. One thing about the New London tragedy, I think death was instantaneous, at least I hope it was. The Shirtwaist Factory fire was not and had to be horrifying for those trying to escape.<br />The book isn't a new release, but thank you.

So very sorry for those children and staff in the school fire and the families who lost children, and other family members.<br /><br />On the positive side, your new book sounds fascinating.
