She becomes embroiled in a bitter fight for survival against crooked politicians and an uninterested legal system. Challenging the law, invading brothels, literally stealing young women from their masters, pleading for money from the financially secure, and scouring the street for the hopeless becomes Thomasina's life work.A woman of rare courage in a time when women in America had no voice in governmental policies, Thomasina McIntyre persists despite betrayal, prejudice, political scandal, and the earthquake of 1901. She becomes LoMo, one hundred girls' mother. This is her story, a true story of courage, strength, faith, and devotion.
