Set in the early twentieth century, this epistolary novel chronicles the life of Joan Skraggs, a teenage girl who flees her grueling Pennsylvania farm life to seek employment as a domestic servant in Baltimore. Through her candid diary entries, Schlitz explores the complexities of class, religion, and the burgeoning intellectual aspirations of a young woman navigating a rapidly changing social landscape.
