Told through diary entries, The Hired Girl follows Joan, a young Catholic in 1911, as she runs away from her cruel family, makes her way to Baltimore, and becomes a hired girl for a devout Jewish family. An expected amount of hijinks occur, mostly due to clashes of faith. The story also contains a lot of heart and effectively portrays people struggling to stay strong in faith and dignity, while also finding a place in the world.
