The tinker's girl

Cookson, Catherine (author).

Summary: Cumbria, 1870s: Just before her fifteenth birthday, Jinnie Howlett is offered a position as maid-of-all work at a farm near the Cumbrian border. She hopes this will be a welcome relief from the workhouse she knows too well. But when she meets her brutish employers Jinnie realizes she has only exchanged one drudgery for another. She is grateful when one of the sons befriends her, but it isn't long before Jinnie sees how tempting life is beyond her place of work... Can Jinnie ever escape her life of poverty and find hope in hard times?
