- Synopsis
- On a grey winter day in December 1958, one of the deadliest fires in American history took the lives of ninety-two children and three nuns at a Catholic elementary school on Chicago’s West Side. The blaze at Our Lady of the Angels School shocked the nation, tore apart a community, left a mystery unsolved to this day, sowed popular suspicion of the church and city fathers, and prompted nationwide fire safety reform in American schools. In To Sleep with the Angels, two veteran journalists tell the moving story of the fire and its consequences. It is a tale of ordinary people caught up in a mind-numbing disaster.
