Summary
Born in working-class London in 1748, Mary Saunders hungers for linen and lace, which leads her to a life of prostitution at a young age. A dangerous misstep sends her fleeing to a friend's middle-class household, where she becomes a seamstress and lives the life of an ordinary girl. Ultimately, Mary returns to her life of prostitution and remains true only to the three rules she learned on the street
