Bella has never known love. Left as a baby outside the workhouse, Bella 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's sold as a scullery maid to a new home, Bella 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 Bella resist giving in to despair and somehow to find the strength to carry on alone?
