Solange De Santis has been a reporter and writer for Reuters, Associated Press, and <i>The Globe and Mail</i>. She is currently a staff reporter for the Toronto office of the<i> Wall Street Journal</i> and lives in the Toronto area with her family.
lange De Santis had achieved success and security in the white-collar world of journalism, she decided to leave it all to work on the line during the final year and a half of a General Motors van plant in Scarborough, Ontario.<br><br>In <i>Life on the Line</i>, De Santis recounts in vivid detail just how and why she undertook this path of seemingly reverse ambition. What she found at the moribund GM plant was at turns surprising, monotonous, humorous, and grim. She encountered competent hard workers, raging alcoholics, mindless bureaucrats, and good friends.<br><br><i>Life on the Line</i> is a penetrating look into a world that many of us shy from acknowledging, even as we accept the keys to our new cars. Completely candid, and as unexpectedly poignant as it is funny, this book will change the way you view blue-collar industry and the people who fuel its engine with their labour.
