A very sad and gripping tale of Mary Saunders, born in London in the 18th century, and having been thrown out of her 'home' by her mother, turns to a life of prostitution, one of the few options for young women in those times. The first part of the book is told through Mary's eyes, the rest, after she arrives in Monmouth, is told through the eyes of several characters.
Parts of this book might be hard for some to read, especially when you realize that these things actually happened, over and over again. Very well written, the characters come right off the page, an excellent glimpse into an interesting part of history.
