Description
In the grimy heart of 19th-century New York City, twelve-year-old Moth is thrust into a life of servitude, only to escape the cruelty of her employer and find herself adrift in the desperate streets of the Bowery. Amidst thieves and beggars, her survival hinges on finding refuge in an unlikely place—a brothel. This novel plunges into the harsh realities of poverty and survival, exploring themes of resilience and the search for belonging in the most unforgiving of environments. Ami McKay masterfully crafts a vivid and unflinching portrait of a young girl's fight for her future against overwhelming odds.
