Here's the storyline I came away with- a woman immigrates to America and sleeps around to get what she wants and overcome poverty. The real plot is that a woman comes to America after her family, including a 4 year old daughter are murdered, where she is given a seamstress job at a theater in NY. The lead actor (also the theater owner's husband) takes a fancy to her, and she becomes both his and his father's mistress. A cousin comes and tells her that her daughter is actually alive, and she decides that she must return to find her daughter. She travels across the country from New York to Alaska in search of her daughter.
I didn't like this book at all. I didn't relate at all with this woman who fell to her knees for a man anytime she needed anything and felt like women were generalized as seductive and only good for sex throughout the novel. I never really felt any real emotional connection to this woman who lost her daughter and couldn't understand why she would travel across the world to find a daughter who might actually be dead. The author just didn't build the connection between mother and daughter strong enough for me to understand the reasoning behind the journey. This is definitely one you can skip unless you're in the mood for a good prostitute novel.
