Oh, how I loved this story!
I found it original and refreshing though it hit on some heavy points in American history it never devolved into pity. The strong main character(s) and supporting characters elevated the story. This was an aspect of history not often brought to light and I appreciated learning about it. Many immigrants are poorly treated and the main character in this story is a bit of a rebel - working as a maid for the wealthiest family in town during the day and challenging society's preconceived notions about gender and race at night as an anonymous journalist.
