Children of the Chronotron by S. J. Byrne
Children of the This fascinating story recounts the lives of Raina and Gerda Olsen, two sisters who are both schoolteachers, one of whom becomes a hero of the storm and the other of whom finds herself shunned in the aftermath. It’s also the story of Anette Pedersen, a maid whose remarkable survival acts as a watershed moment in her life and touches Gavin Woodson, a newspaperman seeking atonement. Woodson and others like him were the ones who exaggerated news tales in order to entice northern European immigrants to cross the sea and live in a harsh region. This is a genuine tale that everyone should read.
