A Widow’s Burden and a Daughter’s Fall in Slums
A dying penitent woman recalls a life of poverty, marital strain, and descent into crime and addiction. She tells of a husband rising to prominence, bankruptcy, eviction from homes, two stricken daughters who become chorus workers, the discovery of her lost Beauty in a theater crowd, a prison sentence for the daughter, and a riven family legacy.
