After the death of a police matron in a bombed brownstone, Louisa is driven to write stories of a more sordid nature. \"Muckraking\" goes against her upbringing, but once her blinders are off, she can't continue to protect the privileged. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEllen Malloy came to America to escape the priests who told her she would go to hell for loving women.
