Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher

3.0

Desperate times call for desperate measures. When you’re poor because your father is dead and your mother has made herself sick with sadness from his parting what’s a girl to do but go out there and make money for her family? What is better than a job where you get to wear gorgeous gowns and shake your tail feathers well getting paid good wages to do that? Who cares that people think you’re a floozy? Who cares that you’re lying to your family?

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a great story of a girl doing the best she can with the hand that life dealt her. In the end society and her families poor judgment changes her life more than the job she took to support said family. With a strong lead female character trying to make the best life out of what she has this book sets good examples and shows true examples of pressures people feel today even if it is set during the world war.
