This book was inspired by the stories told by my Grandmother on how hard life was when she was young and follows the life of a girl, Juliet.
Juliet was the youngest child of a poor family who lived in the Victorian times, the late 1800s. The story takes the readers through the various stages of her life, poor but happy, distraught, hardship, abuse, happiness and finally release. It also illustrates the depravation and callous world in which she lived, but also there are kind and decent people, of which some helped Juliet on her way.
