Description
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century County Durham, this heart-wrenching saga tells the story of Cissie Brodie and her nine siblings. Orphaned at just 15 years old after contracting cholera, Cissie is forced to take on the responsibility of caring for her brothers and sisters alone. Despite their poverty, she remains determined to build a better life for them, but when charity fails to provide, her world begins to unravel.
The arrival of a local landowner sets off a chain of events that threatens Cissie's fragile existence. As she struggles to make ends meet, she must confront the harsh realities of poverty and the limitations placed on her by society. Will love be able to teach her not to fear the world beyond her humble dwelling place?
