"Growing up a hard life as an orphan, Nancy Olden falls into the wrong crowd and a life of crime. She's quick on her feet and quick with her tongue, talking herself out of trouble most of the time. Through a series of misadventures (she's not THAT successful a con artist, really), she begins to rely on the kindness of strangers and slowly straightens her life out. She has only one last scam to play in order to help those who have helped her. Will Nancy be able to save the day? Or will this be the job to finally send her up the river to the big house?"

Autorenporträt
Miriam Michelson (1870-1942) was a pioneering American author and journalist during a time when the literary field was dominated by men. Born on April 21, 1870, in Calaveras County, California, she grew up in a context that shaped her into a strong advocate for women's rights, which often colored her writing and professional pursuits. Michelson's literary work reflects her keen interest in social issues, especially the role of women in society. Her flair for storytelling and her progressive views on gender roles helped her carve out a distinct place among her contemporaries. Perhaps her most renowned novel, 'In the Bishop's Carriage' (1904), is emblematic of her subversive approach to conventional narratives, providing a critique of societal norms through the compelling and complex female protagonist, Nance Olden. This work offers a glimpse into Michelson's narrative style, characterized by vivid character development and a blend of humor, irony, and social commentary. Her literary contributions greatly influenced the perception of women in the early 20th century, both through her characters and her own role as a prominent female figure in the literary scene. Michelson not only paved the way for future generations of women in literature but also left an enduring mark with her insightful and provocative prose.
