In house four, Robert and Annie McClure reside, tasked with taking care of a number of children. A skilled tailor, Robert trains boys to his profession whilst his wife prepares the girls to go into service. Molly Dubber has been in the Barrow Union since the age of three. When a request comes in for a new girl to work at Lindal Hall, Annie, although worried, decides to put Molly forward. The Hall has a reputation for not keeping servants due to a moody and unpredictable owner, damaged by his experiences in the trenches. When Molly takes up the position at the ramshackle hall, she finds herself with some unwanted attention and soon finds she could be in grave danger . . . Don't miss Katie Hutton's other heart-wrenching sagas, The Gypsy Bride, The Gypsy's Daughter and Annie of Ainsworth's Mill.” DRIVE
