This was not a bad book, and considering it's mostly about the plight facing female prostitutes, it's surprisingly age-appropriate. It reminded me of Karen Cushman's The Ballad of Lucy Whipple, another book set in the west during the 1800s. I thought the ending was a bit of a fairy tale though; I can't imagine the whorehouse madam consenting to the deal Eva offered her, or "respectable" people wanting anything to do with the ex-prostitutes.

Historical Fiction.
Young Adult Fiction.
HTML:The year is 1878, and 13-year-old Eva has lost all the family she's ever known. Eva feels like an orphan--but she's not. Sadie Lewis, the woman who gave her up at birth, is alive and well in Denver. And Eva sets out to find her, carrying only an address on a slip of paper. But Denver holds more surprises than Eva can bear. When she reaches 518 Holladay Street, she discovers Sadie Lewis's shocking secret--a secret that lands Eva in a house of ill repute, forced to dance with strangers for her keep. But Eva knows in her bones that she's free--and that she's got to escape. In a novel that pulses with the sights, sounds, and wild dangers of the frontier West, Elisa Carbone explores the many faces that family, and freedom, can take. From the Hardcover edition..
