Bowery Girl

by Kim Taylor

In New York's tenements in 1883, two orphaned teenage girls realize that their dream of saving enough money to move to Brooklyn across the newly-built bridge may be achieved if they learn new trades at a nearby settlement house, rather than continuing their lives of prostitution and stealing.

The reality of the slums of New York were very realistic in this story of two young women trying to make a life for themselves after having been abandoned by their families.
