Book
The Girl from Farris’s
June Lathrop is arrested in a police raid on Farris’s and must navigate a city in which reputation can matter as much as evidence. Her efforts to build a different life cross paths with employers, investigators and respectable society, exposing the double standards surrounding class, sexuality and criminal suspicion.
Chicago's police raids, vice districts, offices and social hierarchies give the novel the atmosphere of Progressive Era urban America. June's attempt to escape the consequences of a single arrest exposes how reputation, gender and class can determine who is believed, employed or condemned long before the facts are known.
