AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set in Paris, the story of a woman abandoned by the father of her child who gives the baby to the foundling hospital. Thirty years later, after living lower each year, she returns to the hospital to discover what happened to her - and dies in the arms of the nun she became. Plain tale; mother is not condemned despite her 'weaknesses'. (PB)
