“A story with characters that feel so real that it’s sometimes hard to remember the book is a work of fiction. This is further compounded by the vivid descriptions of the flood that correspond with historical accounts and the fact that the story is set in very real locations. . . . A colorful account of one of the most traumatic moments in Pennsylvania’s history and the lives it changed.”
―Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The 125th anniversary of the devastating Johnstown Flood will be observed on May 31, 2014. Thousands perished. It was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history at the time. The author has captured the drama of these real events and blended the personal storylines of
wonderful characters to pay tribute to the people of Johnstown, Pa. Bravo, Ms. George. You have shown the true grit and spirit of this American town.”
--Free Lance-Star Media
“The story of the flood was fascinating.”
--Somerset (PA) Daily American
“Brings not just May 1889 but also the entire twentieth century to life for readers. In ‘The Johnson Girls,’ George introduces readers to the class issues that others have featured in the story of the flood, but in tracing the lives of her main characters after the flood she also subtly forces readers to contemplate the gender, race, and class issues that prevailed throughout the twentieth century. . . A meaningful story that builds on historical reality while painting a larger picture that goes well beyond the one event. . . the goal of the novel is not to retell the well-known story but to give it a human face that reflects, but does not necessarily recount, the history. George succeeds at this."
