The Girls with No Names by Serena BurdickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just because you are rich doesn’t mean you have freedoms—you actually have limits, a slave to society and propriety. Meet sisters Effie and Luella Tildon, who lived a very comfortable life but had to conform to a strict set of rules that were placed upon women in the 1900s. Any kind of rebellion could send them to a work house, an asylum, known as the House of Mercy.
One day when their father took them out for lunch to spend time with them, both Luella and Effie witnessed the real truth behind his motive. After finding out their father’s shocking secret, Luella, the older and braver sister, decided that she would do as she pleased. However, with that rebellion comes consequences. One day she was no longer there. Effie comes to believe that she was sent to the House of Mercy and plans to get herself committed in order to save her sister. Once there, she falls victim to the cruelty and befriends another girl by the name of Mable. The two learn that they must rely on and trust each other to survive. The Girls with No Names is a gripping story till the end.
