Synopsis

A lone mother. A tragic birth. This infant girl will need luck to survive

1849 London

Clare Byrne, widowed and heavily pregnant, escapes the great famine on a 'coffin ship' from Dublin. Tragedy strikes when the newborn loses its mother within the hour. A toothless old crone scoops up the child from the cobbles, hoping to profit from her find.

Moments later, her prayers are answered. An elegant black carriage pulls up, and a self-made gentleman steps out. He pays a single shilling for the infant and begins making plans for her future, leaving everyone else wondering what his intentions are.

Is the stranger's guardianship a curse or a blessing for the bairn? Will she be condemned to a life of hardship under an oppressive master? Or will she experience a dazzling future as the apple of her wealthy benefactor's eye?
