Lost by Jacqueline Davies

This story takes place in the early 1900’s , Essie Rosenfield works at Triangle Shirtwasist Factory in Manhattan, a low paying company and is determined to make money to provide for her younger sister and brother. While working there she meets this odd person, that doesn’t seem to be working in the right place. Harriet is her name, she ran away from home, is educated and well dressed and the longer she knows her the more secrets she uncovers while slowly telling her own sad secrets, that she never tells to anyone. They both have something in common, they both lost and are at the wrong place, she shouldn’t have been at the factory working, because there are more things that are more important than providing for brother’s and sister’s and for Harriet she made a regretful mistake.
