This classic book is Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1877 novel, "That Lass O' Lowrie's". It is the story of a spirited heroine who was raised in grim, impoverished surroundings by a brutal, abusive father. She is forced to toil in the mines for long hours, often striving to protect those weaker than herself. That is, until she falls in love with a man belonging to a significantly higher social strata. A fantastic story of love and redemption, "That Lass O' Lowrie's" would make for a worthy addition to any collection, and is not to be missed by fans of Burnett's work. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was an American-English writer and dramatist. Other notable works by this author include: "A Little Princess" (1905) and "The Secret Garden" (1911).
