Freedoms have limits.Wayward girls are not allowed to express their emotions nor have feelings. They are in many cases lost voices being abused while staying isolated and living in fear and squalor.
One thing was certain the 1900's was a time of great hardships and condemnation.
When one of the sisters uncovers a horrible truth about her father she rebels and seeks freedom.
All actions have consequences and Luella is now mysteriously gone.
Perhaps the band of Roma (gypsies) was to inviting of an appeal to the girls or perhaps there's much more to this story.
Her younger sister Effie believes whole heartedly her father sent Luella to The House of Mercy and Effie believes there's no other choice but in having herself committed to save her.
While there she meets another lost soul Mable and fast become entwined to survive.
The ending for me was superb with the descriptive information provided by the author and the reasoning and rationale to use 'gypsies' in this story with no negative connotations.
I think those who let go of the historical accuracy which for some felt lacking and focus more on the story itself and the author's writing and talent; will be much more open to enjoyment as a whole.
