By Beth Kephart
Paperback
Tomorrow Will Bring Sunday’s News evokes 1918 Philadelphia, a city of war and racism, women’s rights and women’s work, a bloody race riot and a flu that will prove to be more deadly than the war. It introduces Peggy Finley, a character inspired by Kephart’s own mysterious grandmother. Smart, Peggy has ambitions. In love, she has a future. But when the draft sweeps through the city and ensnares the boy she loves and when there is simply not enough to go around, Peggy takes on employment as a doffer at the brand-new Fleisher yarn factory, entering a community of other spirited young women determined to make a difference in a world beyond their control.
Ultimately, Tomorrow asks this question: How do the stories we imagine become the truths we won’t forget? It offers history as commentary on the world we live in now.
