In May, 1886, 80,000 laborers plan to march at a demonstration in Haymarket Square in Chicago.
As the march gives way to a terrifying riot, Dinah faces constant danger and a persistent question: What will become of her family if she does not set her father free?.
But when her father is taken prisoner for helping to plan the march, Dinah is desperate to rescue him.
Dinah\'s father knows there must be a better way -- that\'s why he and eight thousand others are planning to march for an eight-hour day.

But to the factory and mill owners, age doesn\'t matter.
Twelve-year-old Dinah Bell is too young to be working twelve-hour days.
CHICAGO, 1886.
Dinah is determined to free him even though the march and the subsequent riot put her in danger.
