“What an eye-opener to the garment industry! The author willingly endured so many things that we snobby Americans workers would NEVER tolerate (but we’ll wear the clothes created in that environment). A fascinating peek into the industry. The author shows the garment industry from a very different perspective– from the eyes of a woman seeking to leave her homeland to make her fortune. A view from the very bottom of the world’s economic food chain. It is a sad but real story told in a simple but beautiful manner. I read it in one afternoon/evening because I couldn’t put it down. Everyone who wears clothes, or has ever heard of Saipan should read this book.”–Amazon

In the interest of full disclosure, I am the “as told to” co-author of this book which is now gaining interest from labor organizations and even Public Radio International’s “The World” program. I’m proud to have been a channel for helping this young lady get her story told, and invite any who want further reason and justification for following your ethical living tips to live a more conscience-driven life to check it out.
