Description
Never give up on your dreams…
The year is 1828.
Tildy and her seven-year-old son, Davy, are living a quiet, peaceful life in the home of Esther Smith – the local wise woman whom many believe is a black witch.
Yet times are hard, and as Tildy desperately tries to scrape a living as a field hand, she sometimes wonders if her life will ever be something other than backbreaking work.
But she has made it this far and knows that no matter the hardship, she and those she loves will survive.
However, Tildy’s strength is soon threatened when a ruthless landowner evicts them and demolishes their home, leaving them with nothing more than a miserable pile of belongings.
Both Esther’s and Tildy’s pride refuses to permit them to enter the poorhouse and they are left homeless.
Esther’s nephew, Daniel Lambert, immediately takes them in when he hears of their predicament.
An ex-convict, he is newly returned from penal servitude on Norfolk Island and brings the welcome news that Tildy’s violent husband has died.
Relieved to be finally free, Tildy finds herself drawn to Daniel, and it isn’t long before their feelings for each other grow into something a lot stronger than friendship.
Dreaming of a better future, Tildy is finally able to send little Davy to school, while she sets up with Daniel in the needle-making business.
Although Tildy and Daniel start to prosper, others are desperate for work, seeking to reclaim their jobs from the machinery that has put them out on the streets and dependent on parish charity.
Before they can build a new life together, Tildy and Daniel must face more than their share of problems.
Only then will they be free from worry…
