Hi Shannon & Everyone,
I just downloaded Triangle by Katharine Webber for validation. This will be my
first validation attempt. I've always been interested in the Triangle fire, so
am looking forward to reading it.

Hi, everyone.
I just submitted Triangle by Katharine Webber to step one. I removed headers,
corrected errors, and protected page breaks and chapter headings. If you have
questions, please contact me at:

Here's a synopsis:
Esther Gottesfeld is the last living survivor of the notorious 1911 Triangle
Shirtwaist fire and has told her story countless times in the span of her
lifetime.
Even so, her death at the age of 106 leaves unanswered many questions about
what happened that fateful day. How did she manage to survive the fire when
at least 146 workers, most of them women, her sister and fiancé among them,
burned or jumped to their deaths from the sweatshop inferno? Are the
discrepancies
in her various accounts over the years just ordinary human fallacy, or is
there a hidden story in Esther's recollections of that terrible day?
Esther's granddaughter Rebecca Gottesfeld, with her partner George Botkin, an
ingenious composer, seek to unravel the facts of the matter while Ruth Zion,
a zealous feminist historian of the fire, bores in on them with her own
mole-like agenda. A brilliant, haunting novel about one of the most terrible
tragedies
in early-twentieth-century America, Triangle forces us to consider how we
tell our stories, how we hear them, and how history is forged from unverifiable
truths.
Enjoy.
Shannon
