“Take a Sad Song" is a poignant narrative about girls sent to an all-girls training school, where they are assigned tasks and face severe punishment for any disrespect. This series of poems is told from the perspective of Jane, who goes by Jude. After losing her father, Jude begins partying, and on the night of her birthday, she is taken away by the police. Although the story itself is fictional, the author's notes reveal that the setting is based on a real place from the 1900s. This compelling story captures the uncertainty and risks the girls face as they seek a sense of security in their fragile state. It is a must-read for those interested in learning about this aspect of our history.
