The Brody girls have always been a bit different from the rest of the folk in Angel Meadow, the appalling slum where their drunken mother, Kitty, is the lowest sort of prostitute. Then one day Kitty disappears from their lives forever and Nancy Brody makes up her mind that she will not see little Mary and Rose in the workhouse. Determined to find a better way of life, she gets work for them at a mill -- and then sets out to better herself and her sisters.
