Chasing Remarkable Lives: A Problematization of Empowerment Stories for Girls. Journal of Literary Education, 3, 44–61.The gist is that Enola's mom disappears on her 14th birthday and it turns out that she's been fleecing Mycroft for money. She was supposed to have all kinds of things like gardeners, horse stables, and a governess for Enola. Not so much. I'm assuming that as the series goes on these characters and their stories will all grow and change, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Advisory: References to prostitution and “ladies of the night” without any details to what this entails, references to extreme poverty. Violence, kidnapping.

Someone tried to help protagonist with her life and future, she just ran away (to a place she knows nothing about, based on a childhood fantasy) and when she realized her fantasy is just a fantasy, she has no sense to mend her ways.
