Publisher's Summary:
When 17-year-old Belinda Phillips falls in love with a handsome Anglo-Indian officer, she knows that he is a man she can never hope to marry. When he is reported missing, believed killed in action, Belinda discovers that she is pregnant. Facing disgrace and ruin, she has no option other than to accept an arranged marriage with a middle-aged widower, knowing she must keep the secret of her child's birth for ever. Reluctantly she sends her beloved daughter to a foster mother in Cripplegate, little realising she has entrusted Cassy's care to Biddy Henchard, a woman who runs a notorious baby farm in an area full of poverty and disease.
Despite her terrible upbringing, Cassy survives the old woman's cruel neglect. All the while she dreams of a mother she has never known, hoping she will come and save her from her dreadful fate. But when Biddy dies suddenly, 10-year-old Cassy finds herself destitute and with little hope of ever finding the mother she so longs for.

Loved it!
I loved the story, very interesting, easy to listen to. I enjoyed the narration as well. I will listen to other audiobooks by this author.
wonderful
Such a beautiful heart felt story. Annie is a first class narrator that transfers you fully into a world that Dilly has created......one of love, riches, poverty, high society, London slums and all other scenarios that you can imagine. Truly wonderful story. #dillycourtfan

O my goodness me what a lovely story. DIlly Court writes such interesting stories describing the different backgrounds of people who lived during the time in which the story was set. There were those people who had little or nothing and those who lived in luxury. It was so sad at the beginning but gradually the lives of people who had nothing improved the ending was lovely. Annie Aldington is such a good narrator.
an enjoyable read
what can one say a most enjoyable read .. you ate almost there in the story at times .
