Gabrielle Picard remembered the long train ride from Quebec to Connecticut in 1924.
She was four years old.
Her parents and their twelve children emigrated to Taftville, the location of the famous Ponemah Mill--known for its steady work, fair wages, and good housing.
Ahead, the Ponemah years would be etched by loss, but also brim with hope, hard work, and heroes.
This is Gabrielle's story, and a daughter's journey to know her better.
