The Silent Women — Inspired by the True Story of the Manhattan Project's Secret Women (by Tara Lynn Masih)

I love reading historical fiction books. This one was a different focus than my typical read. I loved spending time with Song Holloway ... learning the background to her name, how the 1935 dust storm affected her life, and her willingness to accept the opportunity to work on the Manhattan Project. The author did an amazing amount of research into life and the work conducted in Oak Ridge, TN. She melds the facts of what went on in day-to-day life at the Clinton Engineer Works (CEW) while giving you a glimpse into the personal lives of the people who agreed to work on a highly secret project which they were promised would end the war. What a wonderful story of the unsung heroes who helped bring an end to a horrible war. Filled with hope, dedication, tenacity, bravery, and a willingness to set aside any personal aspirations for the good of their country.
