About This Book

A proud, talented farmer’s daughter rebels against the limits of rural life and vows to make a name for herself. While crafting a daisy chain and dreaming of escape, she witnesses cruelty at the local Poor Farm and intervenes to protect a wounded boy under the keeper’s control. The opening episodes contrast her musical gifts and fierce independence with the hardships faced by orphans and laborers, establishing themes of class tension, compassion, and a young woman’s determination to transcend her expected social role.
