Hoosier Daddy

Friday Jill is a low level supervisor at the local factory. She and her coworkers are on edge because the factory is set to be bought out and there are rumors about labor union organizers coming in. It’s really not good when El, one of the organizers, turns out to be very attractive and seemingly interested in Friday. There are very real stakes between them. How can a factory supervisor date a union organizer? Especially since organizers don’t stay in one place for long and Friday is rooted to her rural town. It was a real pleasure to watch Friday figure out what she needs to do and take control of her life. The book’s greatest strength is the rich sense of place; rural southern Indiana is brought to life in such a way that I could practically see, touch, smell, and taste everything described. Plus, I loved the unexpected exploration of labor unions. (Closed door.)
