Last Dance on Holladay Street

(4) YA When her guardians die, Eva searches for the mother who gave her up thirteen years earlier in 1865. The trail leads to Denver, but the mother/daughter reconciliation is far from ideal. Eva's mother, a prostitute, seems hardened by her oppressive economic circumstances and her apparently hopeless future. Despite a pat resolution, this is an unusual glimpse into women's lives.
