Anyone who read the first book knows that it is going to be a difficult adjustment.

In between sneaking out to sing and dance at a local pub, Jacky is making an effort to follow the rules. But when she is arrested for lewd behavior, the head mistress will have all the ammunition she needs to bump Jacky down to a serving girl.
But don't count on Jacky Faber staying where anyone puts her. Before the tale is through she will please and annoy all levels of society in Boston.
