The Maid’s Courage

Will she find the courage to unite her family?

Nuneaton, 1860.

Ginny and her brother Charlie have lost the only home they’ve ever known. Devastated by the death of their mother, two brothers and sister, and with their father imprisoned for murder, they are all alone in the world.

Ginny is determined to keep her younger brother with her, but he is taken to the workhouse before she has a chance to save him. Lonely and desperate, Ginny finds work at a pie shop – until she is forced to fight off the unwanted advances of the baker and she’s out on the streets.

Then she remembers her father’s final words: the housekeeper of Lamp Hill Hall will help her. Employed as a laundry maid, Ginny’s beauty and grace quickly catches the eye of the house’s mistress, who raises her up to play lady’s maid to the demanding Miss Diana. But all Ginny wants is to find her brother – and it will take all of her courage to bring her family together again.
