She longed to be reunited with her family. The compelling new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Workhouse Girl.
Stella Barry is forced into service as a kitchen maid when her father dies at sea and the family find themselves in straitened circumstances. Leaving her mother and younger brother and sister in Limehouse, Stella goes to a big country house outside London. A year later, having not seen them in all that time, she walks to London with a cake for her mother for mothering Sunday. But she discovers they have disappeared. Thrown out of their lodgings no one knows where they have gone. Seven years later Stella is now undercook and it looks likely she'll soon become Cook. But when the son of the house makes improper advances and she knows he'll be believed over her, she must leave at once. With no references and only a few personal possessions to her name she heads off. She has never forgotten her family and is determined to seek the truth, once and for all.
