Summary
It is 1910 and life in Wiltshire is far from pleasant for Mattie Willitt and her sisters. Bullied by her stepfather, who attempts to force her into an unwelcome marriage, Mattie decides her only hope for happiness is to run away. With no destination in mind and neither food nor shelter, Mattie soon finds herself lost. She is discovered and nurtured back to health by Jacob. With nowhere else to go, Mattie stays with Jacob and the two of them grow close, finding consolation in each other's troubled marital histories
