Introducing—

Maxwell Bodenheim

A Master Story-Teller

Now Ready

Georgie May

A bumingly sincere study of the mind and soul of a public courtesan. The dramatic story of the ups and downs, fortunes and misfortunes of Georgie May and her friends and enemies on the streets of a Southern city. "Rich, mature writing," the critics said of this unforgettable story of an American "Nana."

A Virtuous Girl

They called Emmy Lou a fast girl and an easy mark, because she refused to be bound by the ties of hypocritical convention. But Emmy Lou had her own definition of virtue. The story of her struggle to find true love takes you to the heart of the eternal problem of a maiden's road to full-bodied womanhood.

Coming Shortly

Replenishing Jessica

The novel that was cleared by the courts. Jessica was a pampered daughter of wealth who refused to deny herself anything, especially men. The dramatic account of her follies and pleasures and of the emotional price Jessica had to pay is a Bodenheim classic you cannot afford to miss.

Dark Ways and Women's Wiles

What happens when a lonely country girl succumbs to temptation? Here is the frank story of a girl whose affair with a traveling man led her into wayward paths and sinister habits.

She became a woman who lived her life to the full, without apology . . . and yet without true love. In these pages you will be moved by the human drama in the lives of

Madame Leota, who lost her youth in one evil hour.
Steve Garland, the young poet who taught her tenderness—and died before he tasted the fruits of love.
Yekial Meigs, the dour farmer with a crab-apple soul—on his acres a strange interlude ended in violent drama.
Dorothy, Madame Leota's pretty niece, for whose sake the most stirring moments in a near-tragedy were played.

When Madame Leota sacrificed herself to protect Dorothy and the man she loved from the pointing fingers of society, she proved all cannot be evil in any human heart. In Woman without Love? you will learn the truth about one woman's life and experience.

Works published in 1933 would have had to renew their copyright in either 1960 or 1961, i.e. at least 27 years after they were first published/registered but not later than 31 December in the 28th year. As this work's copyright was not renewed, it entered the public domain on 1 January 1962.


The longest-living author of this work died in 1968, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 55 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

It is imperative that contributors search the renewal databases and ascertain that there is no evidence of a copyright renewal before using this license. Failure to do so will result in the deletion of the work as a copyright violation.
