<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Georgina Corrigan is worried. The first women sent to her Percy Place home by the BOBs - an organisation which supports women escaping difficult home lives - are ready to step out into the world again. Some have found opportunities in Dublin, others will travel across the sea to New York.</p><p>Will those travelling to America find employment with the Harvey Company? Thousands try every year to become Harvey Girls - young women who serve in restaurants and hotels set up to serve travellers on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway line. Will they be successful when so many fail?</p><p>Meanwhile, at home complications multiply. Georgina is surprised when a strange young man appears, claiming the BOBs have sent him - but shocked when he reveals why. Then Flora Kilroy escapes a life of virtual slavery and appears on Georgina's doorstep, claiming to be a relative. What can Georgina do? She is helping strangers - she can't turn family away.</p><p>As the people who serve in the house struggle to meet the demands of each new arrival, Georgina wonders if she will ever know peace again.</p><p>The women of Percy Place greet each new day with fortitude. Failure is not an option. They are determined that they can, and will, not only survive but thrive.</p>
