Maker: A Novel

by Jim Upton

When Nicole Fortin whose goal is to be an Olympic swimmer sees her plan derailed, she goes to work for a jet engine manufacturer. The challenges are immense in the male-dominated workplace, but over the years she earns the respect of her fellow workers and leads them into a major labour dispute that could lead to a devastating dead end. Tangled workplace and family ties along with remarkable back stories add bite to this modern working class novel.
