Publisher's Synopsis
Thrown on the World: Or The Discarded Wife is a novel written by Bertha M. Clay and first published in 1876. The book tells the story of a woman named Edith who is abandoned by her husband and left to fend for herself and her young child. With no money or resources, Edith struggles to survive in a society that offers little support for single mothers. She is forced to take on menial jobs and endure the judgment and cruelty of those around her. Despite the challenges she faces, Edith remains determined to provide for her child and rebuild her life. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters, including a kind-hearted doctor and a wealthy businessman, who offer her assistance and friendship. Thrown on the World is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the struggles faced by women in the late 19th century and a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
