Rebelling against the domineering man she believes to be her father, Elin Jones runs away from her Welsh home to find a job on Merseyside as a maid in the wealthy Oxley household. Seduced and left pregnant by the son of the family, she feels forced to marry the butler, but finds herself condemned to a life of abuse and poverty.



Only her love for her daughter, Laura, keeps Elin going. Laura grows up with her natural father’s intelligence and drive, as well as his talent for business, and when she seizes the chance to buy an ailing company, it is the start of a meteoric career. But Laura’s personal life is less of a success, and it will take a twist of fate to enable Laura and her mother to find love and happiness.
