About
With her brother buried now in the churchyard, who is to look after little Annie Anderson?
There is money in the bank enough - from a time, when she had family... and a brighter future. Cousin Bruce knows this - and skinflint though he is, he takes her in among his own.
Thin gruel and taunting boys mark her new life, under Cousin Bruce... and when she enters school, the schoolmaster proves no kinder. But, in another student she sees a ray of goodness, and a hint of countryside vigor and kindness: Alec Forbes - whom the world treats no more gently than it does her.
