When Eloise Cribb receives the news that her husband's ship has been lost at sea, she wonders how she is ever going to manage. With two young children, the rent overdue, and with almost nothing to live on, she has no alternative but to turn to his estranged family for help. She sets off on the long and arduous journey to Yorkshire, but is met with hostility and soon realises she has little choice but to return to London. Virtually destitute and desperate, Eloise is faced with her worst nightmare - she must either go to the workhouse, or abandon her children at the Foundling Hospital, but she is determined to keep them safe and under her protective wing at all costs. 'We had a cup of tea and a chat about old times, but more important, my lady, he told me that there's a price on your head. Your in-laws up north have offered a reward for anyone turning you and the brats in to them...' 534pp, paperback with fairly large print.
