Synopsis

When headstrong Selina Trevarton eloped with Barry Moore, her wealthy parents' coachman, they vowed never to forgive her. Their misgivings seem to have been well founded: Twenty years later, their daughter has been driven to an early grave by her drunken husband, whose demise soon after leaves the six Moore children alone and penniless in an age when orphaned children are at the mercy of the Poor Law.
Enterprising and spirited, Crissy is the most resourceful and determined of the siblings, and she does not intend to let her family starve or be split apart by charitable organizations. Thus, she swallows her pride and approaches her grandmother, Agatha Trevarton, for help.
Agatha does offer her granddaughter the demeaning position of lady's maid in the Trevarton household, but she is secretly working to break apart the Moore family forever. Will Crissy figure out her grandmother's goal, and even if she does, how can she stop her?
