About this book
Sixteen-year-old Sarah Clay has every comfort in her father's Yorkshire mansion, yet she questions whether his wealth deserves her respect. Her concern for the women who work in his mills clashes with her mother's loyalty to him and her brother George's views on women's education. May Baldwin's novel for young readers begins with these family arguments, showing how schooling and money can create awkward distances between parents and children.
Horatia joins Sarah and Mrs Clay on a visit to a mill worker's cottage, where a sick child needs care and the family welcomes practical help. Their visit continues to the mills, with Sarah and her mother still divided over the owner. The story offers readers a look at industrial Yorkshire through family conversation, class tensions and the everyday obligations that connect a wealthy household to its workers.
