Book 5: Diary of a Lost Girl, Chapters 1-2 Summary
In Chapter 1, Baby Burlesque, Frances gets a job performing at the speakeasy run by her uncle Jameel and his son Boutros. On her first night at work, no one in the room notices her. At school, Frances assaults one of the boys and is expelled. When James finds out, he tells Frances that whatever she does away from home must be kept away from Lily.
In Chapter 2, Cheap Women 'n Cheatin' Men, business at the speakeasy is picking up for Frances. She makes more money by allowing the men to touch her chest or by bouncing on their laps, yet Frances remains a virgin. She saves her earnings for Lily. James does not want to know where Frances goes and often expects to find that she has run off. Occasionally Mercedes forces Frances into the tub, sometimes even completely clothed, in order to wash her.
