1. 1. Lilli De Jong

   

   Set in 1883 Philadelphia, the narrative follows a young Quaker woman who finds herself pregnant and unwed, facing the harsh realities of societal judgment and limited options. Through her poignant diary entries, she chronicles her journey of resilience and determination as she navigates the challenges of motherhood, poverty, and societal constraints. Her story is a testament to the strength of maternal love and the relentless pursuit of dignity and hope in a world that seems determined to strip her of both.
