Mam'selle Jo is a novel written by Harriet T. Comstock. The story revolves around a young girl named Josette, who is known as Mam'selle Jo, and her journey towards finding her true identity. Josette is born to a French mother and an American father in New Orleans, and she is raised in a convent. She is taught to be a proper lady, but she feels out of place in the convent and longs to discover her roots. When Josette turns eighteen, she leaves the convent and travels to New York to live with her father's family. There, she discovers that her father was a wealthy businessman who had abandoned her and her mother. Josette struggles to fit into high society and is constantly reminded of her mixed heritage. She falls in love with a young man named Jack, but their relationship is threatened by his family's disapproval of her background. Throughout the book, Josette learns to accept herself and embrace her heritage. She becomes involved in the suffrage movement and fights for women's rights. She also discovers the truth about her father's past and learns to forgive him. In the end, Josette finds happiness and love with Jack, and she becomes a strong and independent woman who is proud of her identity. Mam'selle Jo is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, acceptance, and social justice. It is a captivating read that transports the reader to the vibrant and diverse world of New Orleans and New York in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
