At seven years old, Elisa Gregory lost her mother and little sister, leaving her orphaned. Forced to sell flowers in exchange for a bed and food, her Master, Thomas Bowditch, was cold and harsh, not caring if Elisa went hungry.
Then one day, Elisa met nine year old Jesse Monaghan, who brought laughter and light to her otherwise dark existence. Jesse explained how people were buying the flowers because they responded to Elisa, a reserved and beautiful little girl with chestnut hair and an impish nose. With Jesse's help, Elisa learned selling flowers meant to have confidence in herself, and their friendship blossomed.
Following a terrible incident, Bowditch sent Elisa away to reform school, without giving her a chance to say goodbye to Jesse. Broken-hearted, when Elisa arrived at Surrey Hall life became terrible.
Would Elisa ever see Jesse again, or was her life destined for hardship and cruelty?
Genre: Sagas
