Summary |
"When thrift-store aficionado Julie discovers a series of antique paintings with hidden glowing images that are only visible in the dark, she wants to learn more about the artist. In her search, she uncovers a century-old romance and the haunting true story of the Radium Girls, young women who used radioactive paint to make the world's first glow-in-the-dark products--and ultimately became radioactive themselves. As Julie's obsession with the paintings mounts, truths about the Radium Girls--and her own complicated relationships--are revealed"--Provided by publisher. |
