Part of the series: The Social Experiments of Dorie Dilts
by P.G. Kain

Dorie and her best friend, Dixie, win a chance to go to Washington, D.C. to study their favorite subjects. For Dorie, it's science and for Dixie, it's the theater. But, in order for Dorie to have a chance to present in front of Congress, she has to convince the most stuck-up smart boy, Igor, that she is as great a scientist as he is. Igor wants Dorie to set him up with gorgeous teen actress, Tiffany. Why would a super-cool, trendy teen actress be interested in a science geek like Igor? Dorie has it all figured out. With Dixie's help, there's no problem science can't solve.

The Unresolved

In 1904 New York City, 15 year old Mallory Meer is one of 1300 people on board the steamship General Slocum, sailing around Manhattan on a beautiful Sunday, headed for Long Island and a day of picnicing and fun. Also on board is the boy she loves, Dustin, who has snuck on board to share their first kiss. A deadly fire breaks out on board, and only 300 people manage to survive. Mallory's spirit watches over the surviors, including her family and her beloved Dustin. Did Dustin, who is Jewish, start the fire because Mallory's family and church do not approve of their love? Or does the fault lie with the Steamship company and the ship's captain?

The Unresolved is about a real event, the 1904 fire on the General Slocum, which killed 1000 people, mostly women and children. Before the events of 9/11, it was New York City's deadliest tragedy.
