This was an unusual book all around; nothing happens quite as you think it will. It follows the life of Fay Clayton, a child who knows nothing of her past family, and her attempts to make a way for herself in life. She decides to become an actress, sure she will be a success. But there is so much to contend with–low pay, no good friends, men ready to help at the highest of costs. When the one friend she had counted on fails her, she is thrown into despair and actual want. Will she just become another piece of used flotsam in the stream of life?
The ending took me by a definite surprise. But when I stopped to think about it, what better way than for her to be taken care of forever by a good person who never failed her, and who was there in her worst hour?
