Summary
Circumstances force eight-year-old Sarah and her widowed mother to enter the notorious St Giles and St George’s Workhouse.
When her mother dies in childbirth, the independent-minded Sarah falls foul of the workhouse master, Trigg, and his cruel wife.
Sarah’s ordeal seems to be over when a sugar mill owner takes her into his home.
But her wealthy benefactor reports Trigg and his wife. And blaming Sarah for their misfortune, in a fit of revenge, the couple decide to take the law into their own hands.

TRUELY LOVELY
I really enjoyed this book.
It flowed with variety.
Keeping you immersed in the story.
Sad at times, funny at times but more so, just a really good warm feeling book.
Sad it’s finished!

Such a fabulous adventure
She has done it again, Dilly Court has to be the best story teller in the land. A truly superb tale of rags to riches and everything in between. 5 stars

Enjoyable but unbelievable & predictable.
I did enjoy listening but found the storyline a little unbelievable (yes I know it’s fiction!) and a little predictable.
But, all in all, it was an entertaining listen.
