| Summary |
Eva Meyer's meager wages from her job at a five-and-dime store are the sole financial support for three younger sisters, a struggling mother, and a father who prefers beer and penny dreadfuls to work. When there is barely enough to cover the grocer's bill, Eva is forced to patch the holes in the soles of her shoes with cardboard. But with each rainy day and splinter, her plight becomes more painful, and finally intolerable. With no solution in sight, Eva is forced to consider other options. |
