Description

Hannah Francis has been forced to leave her mother and the life she knows in Macclesfield. She is now set to become an apprentice at a cotton mill in the Derbyshire dales, joining three younger travelling companions who have also been uprooted from their homes. Life as a mill worker is harsh and unforgiving, with long hours of work and a daily routine that can be both dangerous and arduous. However, Hannah's bright singing voice and capacity for joy help to lighten the load for everyone around her. She soon becomes a favourite among the other mill workers, forging friendships and attracting the attention of Edmund Critchlow, the man who owns them all. As times grow harder in the cotton industry, with civil war raging across America affecting even the mill owner's life, Hannah must navigate the challenges of her new reality and confront the cruel realities of her world.
