Julie Ellis - Maison Jennie

CONDITION - FAIR

After her father is killed while tending his modest piece-goods shop of St. Charles Avenue, Jenny Straus takes it upon herself to make something of the shop and support her family. Fighting seemingly insurmountable odds, she builds the shop into an astonishing success, becoming a shrew businesswoman in her own right. She makes the best of her lackluster marriage, but yearns for the only man she has ever truly loved - a headstrong artist living in Paris - until she finds a way to relinquish old guilts...and becomes, in her fashion, free to love and be loved.
