Fresh from her harrowing escape from the madhouse on Blackwell's Island, undercover reporter Nellie Bly receives a letter that launches her next crusading investigation-what becomes of unwanted children in Victorian New York? Discovering the wide range of reasons children are abandoned, even Bly's characteristic pluck fails her as she chases down the doctors who buy and sell babies!
Based on real events, Bly's own reporting, and actual letters left with orphans, this heartrending story follows Nellie Bly as she struggles to answer a single, devastating question: "What becomes of babies?"
Praise for What Girls Are Good For:
"David Blixt pens a heroine for the ages! A pint-sized dynamo who refuses to stay in the kitchen, Nellie fights tooth and nail to make a name for herself as a journalist, battling complacent men, corrupt institutions, and her own demons along the way. This real-life Lois Lane had me cheering aloud as I turned the pages-simply a delight!" - Kate Quinn, The Alice Network
