Genre: YA Historical Fiction

My Summary:

It’s 1950 in the French Quarter of New Orleans when we meet seventeen-year-old Josie. A high achiever with a great deal of grit and savvy, she is the daughter of an unreliable mother who is a prostitute, benefits from an unlikely mentoring relationship with a tough madam, and is trying to survive in The Big Easy. Although Josie has a plan to get out, she becomes tangled in an investigation that could change her dream of an elite eastern college and her future. Throughout the story, she is tried, tempted, and tested. How will her decisions shape her future?

  1. This is one that I have not read. I did read Salt to the Sea and Between Shades of Gray and enjoyed them both. I will have to check this one out.

      • No I didn’t Carol. I am waiting for my library to get it. If they don’t have it when the stay home period ends, I might have to get it from Amazon, but I do want to read it.
