Penniless and alone, she barely knows where to start until she teams up with workhouse orphan Luke. Together they try to survive in the harsh environment of the industrial Midlands but before long they make both dangerous enemies who prey upon the vulnerable. Will they ever find Saran's family and their happily ever after?
