"The Cigar Factory: A Novel of Charleston" by Michele Moore is a poignant historical fiction set in Charleston, South Carolina, during the turbulent times of the World Wars.

Cassie and Brigid McGonegal toil upstairs, while Meliah Amey Ravenel labors in the basement. Despite their shared struggles and exploitation, segregation keeps them apart until the pivotal Tobacco Workers Strike of 1945 unites them. Rich with authenticity from Moore's extensive family research, the narrative powerfully underscores themes of solidarity and resilience."
