Summary

A heartbreaking story of one child’s courage, from the best-selling 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?

Children of the Workhouse Series

The third and last book in the Children of the Workhouse series. A brilliant, well written well read Victorian saga which highlights the lot of the poor in those days. There are some parts which make you realise that some things have not changed very much. These three books are, actually one long story so best to read them in order to really appreciate the whole drama. I highly recommend this book and its predecessors.
