Hannah Francis has been forced to leave her beloved mother and the life she knows in the silk mill town of Macclesfield and is set to become an apprentice at a cotton mill in the Derbyshire dales.

Once she is settled in the mill, Hannah discovers that the hours of work are long, and the daily routine is dangerous, arduous, and harsh, but her bright singing and capacity for joy lighten the load for everyone.

Paupers Gold
Excellent book, with a story which will touch your heart. Hannah had to go in the workhouse with her Mother, it wasn't long before she was sent to work at a mill, with a very cruel man in charge. You hear how Hannah coped with the highs & lows of life there, running away when it just got too bad, but she would return years later to get her revenge
