Description -
In 1910, Eighteen year old Jessie pursues a life as a photographer. Her dream is to own her own studio. She has some mishaps and attempts to scrape up the money to start her own business. The book contains some indiscretions - a divorce and a marriage, but overall nothing I can relate to. Jessie is an independent -minded woman who comes off as a feminist. The story is slow paced, but well-written. You'll enjoy some of the educational aspects about it's historic setting.
