A heartbreaking story of one child’s courage, from the bestselling author of The Orphan’s of Halfpenny Street. Ella has never known love. Left as a baby outside the workhouse, Ella has only ever been treated with unkindness; especially from the hateful guardians of the workhouse, who hold the fate of the inmates in their cruel hands. When she is sold as a scullery maid to a new home, Ella hopes for a better life. But her hopes are dashed as she struggles to do all the work heaped on her thin shoulders by her brutish master. Daring to escape her harsh treatment, it isn’t long before she is caught and once again finds herself at the mercy of an uncaring world. Can Ella resist giving in to despair and somehow to find the strength to carry on alone… Ella's journey, set against the backdrop of the city, is a compelling piece of fiction that explores the depths of human resilience. Her story is a saga that weaves together themes of friendship and family, painting a picture of hope amidst despair. For fans of Rosie Clarke (Family Matters at Blackberry Farm), Fenella J Miller (A Dangerous Husband), Lizzie Lane (Tough Times on Coronation Close), Anna Stuart (The Secret Message), and Lizzie Page (An Orphan's Song).
