Aprašymas

It was her letter. Dear Tizzie, it read so why had it been thrown away before she’d seen it? Her family wouldn’t do that to her, hide her things from her? Families supported and aided each other didn’t they? Especially on a Yorkshire Dale farm, in 1887 where life was tough enough without a falling out in the family. But niece Agnes knew something for she’d found the letter. Perhaps it was time for Tizzie to remove those rose tinted spectacles and really see what her brother, Jack, his wife, Maggie, and their children had been up to. ‘It’s nowt good that’s for sure.’ Here she had been working herself down to skin and bones as a dairymaid for them, but what had they really done to her? She dreaded finding out but she must, or Agnes would suffer the same spinster fate. Sharp young Agnes wanted to be a school teacher, she showed Tizzie things weren’t what she’d thought. Together they uncovered Jack and Maggie's treachery and Tizzie, shocked, robbed of all she wanted in life, determined to set Agnes free.
