Vera by Carol Edgarian
Vera Johnson is fifteen, she lives with a mostly uncaring foster family, her mother Rose is a famous San Franscisco madam who only sees her daughter in the dark of night, so as not to sullie her reputation.
Suddenly the San Francisco earth quake hits and the world that they knew before is shattered. Vera tries to get to Rose's fancy home, to check and see if she is okay. She overcomes horrible conditions to get there, worried sick, the whole time. She does get there and finds that Rose is not at that location. One of Rose's employees said that Rose is in her other house, where she went at times, to entertain.
Vera manages to secure help with a friend and goes to the other house to get Rose and bring her home. She cares for Rose's broken body, she will need much convalescing to recover.
The story is interesting, I like how it talks about the looting that goes on after the quake, and the swift way the police take care of the problem, they shoot all looters. End of the problem.
Many thanks to the publisher and Shelf Awareness for the complimentary copy of this book. I was under no obligation to post a review.
