6. First published in 1899, this book tells the story of an orphan girl after her home is hit by a cyclone, and her travels and encounters as a street walker with a number of cowardly, heartless, and stupid men in a land totally unlike her home in rural Kansas.
View original postI liked the way you phrased it. I thought it was fairly clever. Your suggestions here would probably improve it even further, but that said, as soon as I read "1899", "girl" and "home is hit by a cyclone", I knew what it was — to the point where I had to stop and read the "street walker" bit twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
Ah, excellent. Mission achieved... probably for the best I left out the midgets

Re no. 2 – did we find out her parentage in that book? If not, I don't think the question's fair.
