Jennie Gerhardt by Theodore Dreiser

4.0

Beautiful Jennie Gerhardt is the eldest child of a large, impoverished family. Her beauty, naivete and kindness make her appealing to men of all classes--she becomes pregnant after a liaison with a well-known senator, and ends up living out of wedlock with a wealthy heir. The book explores the impact of the decisions we make, as well as societal and economic injustices.
