Nellie Bly (1864-1922) was the pen name of Elizabeth Cochran Seaman, an American journalist. She was widely known for two feats: a record-breaking trip around the world in emulation of Jules Verne, and an expose in which she faked insanity to study a mental institution from within. She was a pioneer in her field, both for her gender and her new approach to investigative journalism. She was also an industrialist and charity worker.

These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly!
"A Fascinating Story Of High And Low Life!"
Sixteen-year-old orphan Christmas Cherry escapes from the foster home on Blackwell's Island without a friend in the world. On Christmas Day, her birthday, she wanders New York in search of shelter and a job. Unknown to Christmas, she shares a birthday with wealthy, petted, and proud Amor Escandon, who has also run away after witnessing her beloved father commit a terrible crime.
Christmas finds a protector in handsome George Chesterland. But no sooner does he promise her a job than he's forced to dive into the Hudson River and save Amor from drowning as she attempts to commit suicide. To Christmas' dismay, he is clearly smitten with Amor's beauty.
Together Christmas and Amor accept shelter in the home of a poor cab driver and his family, only to find a bitter foe in the cabbie's daughter, Lillian Day. All three long for George Chesterland's love, but he only has eyes for the haughty Amor.
But Amor's secret pursues her. The evil Matteo Blanco demands her hand in marriage, or else he will reveal her father's crime. Yet upon meeting Lillian and Christmas, Blanco becomes determined to possess all three women at once, demanding . . . The Love Of Three Girls!
