Heartbreaking and uplifting, the story of the workhouse orphan, Eliza, will touch your heart...Eliza was left as a small baby at the workhouse in Whitechapel, wrapped in her mother's shawl, which is all she has of the mother she never knew. At eleven years-old, unlike some of her more unfortunate workhouse companions, she has survived sickness, near starvation and harsh beatings.Master Simpkins and his cruel daughter, the Mistress, rule the workhouse with a rod of iron, but when Romany boy, Joe, arrives at the workhouse, his untameable spirit and courage give Eliza hope that another life is waiting for her outside. When she is sold into service, Eliza is relieved to be out of the workhouse and hopes her fortunes will improve, but cruelty and unkindness are everywhere and her salvation could yet turn out to be her ruin...
