Book Description

Publication Date: March 5, 2009

Olivia Copley is a feral child who has been starved of affection, but it is Miss Trent—her new governess—who has known real hunger and hardship. Meanwhile Hesley Mexton is committed to saving his failing coal mine and safeguarding his grandson’s future at any cost. As Olivia matures it seems that even her friends are conspiring to rob her of happiness, but they underestimate her courage and her determination to fight for what she wants. Set in the countryside of 19th-century England, this is a heart-wrenching story of courage and resolve.
