Publisher's summary

Betty Slight has never known such misery in the whole of her life.

Losing both her parents in the same week, the landlord forces her from her home only days later. At just 17, and with nowhere to go and no hope for a future, she sets off to make her way to London where she prays she can find work, anything to survive now that she’s suddenly on her own. But Simon Bleath, a horrible and miserable man and the landlord’s partner, catches up to her outside the village and takes the last of her innocence in a vile act, leaving her beaten and broken inside and out.

But Betty is a fighter.

And despite her pain, both emotional and physical, both from the loss of everything she knows and the brutal act by the vilest of men, she determines to fight. She will survive, because she must.

Yet it takes time, and money and food have run out. Jobs are scarce, and pity more so.

But Timothy Flow, a brewery manager, shows mercy when she shows up desperate for work and help. That’s when things start to finally look up. Until life soon deals her yet another surprise, and Betty finds herself with child.

What to do now? Can Betty support her baby when she can barely support herself? The answer is not what she wants to hear but knows in her heart is true.

There’s only one answer, despite her heart screaming for her to find another way.

Her life, and that of her baby, may never be the same again.

Unless more mercy is found in the strangest of circumstances, and prayer can be answered once more…
