Synopsis

Before Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs created an unforgettable heroine in an entirely different kind of jungle...

A hidden gem of grit and heart from the creator of some of the most iconic adventure heroes of the twentieth century.

When a young woman escapes the infamous Farris's, Chicago's most notorious house of ill repute, she dares to build a new life for herself. But starting over means nothing in a city where corruption, blackmail, and self-righteous hypocrisy conspire to drag her back down.

First serialized in 1916, The Girl from Farris's is a story of ruin and redemption, as the fates of a ruined man and a softhearted woman collide. This fine new edition brings a lost classic back to life, featuring a foreword by bestselling fantasy author Mercedes Lackey.
