It was a fascinating read and I recommend it. It can be downloaded at no charge from Google Books. After college, she worked as a live-in domestic servant for five different households and wrote about her travails and observations, ending with a section on changes that should be implemented by employers. It's highly anecdotal and well-worth the read for someone interested in the social history of the United States. <br />Karen Charbonneau, Author: The Wolf's Sun and<br /> A Devil Singing Smallleaves on the Raney Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711219595014372212noreply@blogger.com
