Sinopsis
Nuneaton, 1875.
Lily Moon, the local miner's daughter, spends her days as a parlour maid for Lord and Lady Bellingham at Oakley Manor, on the outskirts of Nuneaton. She's always been happy with her lot in life, and never expected more.
But one day, everything changes when she temporarily becomes lady's maid to the Bellingham's daughter, Arabella, who is pregnant with the illegitimate child of her lover, and about to be unhappily married off to a man double her age.
When Arabella suddenly disappears and Lily is left holding the baby, the Bellingham's deny any link to the child. But Lily Moon is made of strong stuff, and between her and her sick mother, they know they must give a home to sweet baby Anastasia (Annie) and bring her up despite their own poor means. It is only Arabella's brother, the handsome son and heir of the estate, who shows any interest in the child, and through his kindness a friendship forms between him and Lily.

Every one of Rosies books I read, and I have read almost all of them now, I say it's the best one yet, and here I go again
Lily lives in Nuneaton and is a coal miners daughter. They live with her younger sister, her younger brother and Mum in a tiny pit workers cottage on a great Manor. Life is hard, and for escapism Lily sketches, everything she sees around her.
She's taken on as a parlour maid at the big house, and so the story begins. First her sister steals her fiance from her, She's glad really as didn't feel it with Robbie. Then she gets to know the daughter of the house and gets pulled into their families tribulations, making both life long friends, and enemies. I'm not going to say more to spoil the story, but once again, I opened the book this morning, did nothing all day, and put it down finished this evening. How Lily survives the tough life she's been born into, always helping others, which gets her into more difficulties, and how she makes good......on her own in the end. Got to wait till September now till book 2..... Damn. Rosie, you've done it again, and every book is better than the last. 1 comment josephine Hunt85 2
A story where you knew how you hoped it was going to end but had to wait to find out.
