Just an excellent historical book from the award winning author of 'Splendors and Gloom.' Joan Skraggs runs away from her dreadful life of drudgery on the family farm. She changes her name and takes the train to Baltimore to start a new life as a 'hired girl.' Down on her luck, she meets the Rosenbach family where she learns many lessons about loyalty, love and life goals. Told in diary format, I really enjoyed this book! Although it is long, it flows really well. A treat to read!
