The voice which uttered these words was so anxious so pathetic with deep feeling that you would have loved the poor child whose heart gave them forth plain and miserable as she was.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Drawing upon real-life incidents and heartrending scenes experienced by the author in the depths of New York's institutions, this gripping tale delves into the poorly regulated and often faulty systems that govern urban charities. Spanning multiple perspectives including the mayor, a policeman, and the wretched poor, the author highlights how poverty and misfortune can be intensified when those in positions of power and privilege turn a blind eye.
