Publisher's Synopsis

""Susan Lenox: Her Rise And Fall"" is a novel by David Graham Phillips that tells the story of a young woman named Susan Lenox who is forced to leave her home and family after being falsely accused of a crime. She moves to New York City and begins a new life, but soon finds herself caught up in a world of prostitution and crime. Susan meets and falls in love with a wealthy man named Rodney Aldrich, but their relationship is threatened by his disapproving family and Susan's past. As she struggles to overcome her past and build a better life, Susan must navigate the challenges of love, class, and society. The novel explores themes of social inequality, gender roles, and the consequences of one's actions. ""Susan Lenox: Her Rise And Fall"" is a gripping tale of a woman's journey to redemption in the face of adversity.The Susan Lenox who sat alone at the little table in the dining-room window, eating bread and butter and honey in the comb, was apparently the same Susan Lenox who had taken three meals a day in that room all those years--was, indeed, actually the same, for character is not an overnight creation. Yet it was an amazingly different Susan Lenox, too. The first crisis had come; she had been put to the test; and she had not collapsed in weakness but had stood erect in strength.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
