Summary

Coventry, 1904. When little orphan Annie finds herself liberated from the workhouse and taken to a smart home on Swan Lane, she thinks her fortunes might finally be turning around. While grateful to the Lilburn family, she soon realises they have problems of their own. Grieving the loss of their young daughter a number of years earlier, Maggie Lilburn adopted two children from the workhouse: a newborn baby, who she thought would be the answer to her family's woes, and Annie. But Annie soon discovers that rather than wanting to make her a part of the family along with the baby, Maggie plans to treat her as little more than a slave. Life on Swan Lane is not all bad for Annie as she becomes close to her adopted brothers and Levi, Maggie's husband and the local rag-and-bone man, takes Annie under his wing.
