They&#8217;re lucky to have the work. <br \/>\nIn the 1870s Canada suffers from a terrible Depression, and the Bains have travelled the country looking for work since their father died, finally ending up in this dark mill in Montreal. Soon they discover they&#8217;ve only been hired to replace workers striking to raise their rock-bottom wages. This knowledge, along with the cold and hunger and seemingly endless workdays, starts to wear them down. As they come to know their co-workers, however, the find they&#8217;re not alone in their misery. Working together they find it&#8217;s possible to make change, even in the dark world of the oppressive mills. <br \/>\nSet against the grim background of Canada&#8217;s 19th century industrial cities, <I>Trouble at Lachine Mill<\/I> is the story of two young people&#8217;s perseverance in the face of incredible squalour and adversity. The book is illustrated with a section of photographs chronicling the industrial city of Montreal in the late-19th century.<br \/>\nThis is the fourth book in the Bains series of historical novels, well-researched, action-filled narratives following the travels of one family across Canada&#8211;from Newfoundland to Alberta&#8211; in search of a better life during the hard times of the 1870s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2604,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[468,752],"product_tag":[467],"class_list":["post-2602","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-juvenile-fiction-historical-general","product_cat-juvenile-fiction-historical-united-states-colonial-revolutionary-periods","product_tag-the-bains","pa_contributor-bill-freeman","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal","ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","ast-magnify-disabled","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-external"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2602"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2602"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorimer.ca\/adults\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
