	8	*The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women*	Kate Moore	2016	History	This story is, of course, terrifying, heartbreaking, and incensing, but the thing that Kate Moore accomplishes the best by the end of it is drawing out how inspiring these ladies were. I cannot imagine going through what they did, let alone going through it with faith intact, regularly finding things to relish in a life that, from such a young age, brought them such unspeakable, unfair, hardships. Moore writes these women with such care, highlighting the things they find bright in their dark lives, that it wasn't even so much the horrific descriptions of their physical traumas that most got to me (though those were tough to read, over and over and over), but it was the descriptions of the way their emotional heartbreaks were rendered in some of the hardest moments -- thoughts of not seeing their children run through the house playing anymore bringing them to heaving sobs in a courtroom, having to express fears their husbands would leave them due to their death sentences -- that most humanized their stories.
