Can she reclaim her life when all hope seems lost?

Neglected by everyone around her, including her own mother, 15-year-old Mavis Jackson has lost all hope. When her father leaves home, Mavis and her mother find themselves penniless, walking the streets in search of junk to sell.

Until one day, an unexpected fairy godmother arrives in the form of Edith Pugh. Struck down with a debilitating illness, she needs a housekeeper and sees Mavis as the perfect solution.

But Edith's kindness disguises ulterior motives and Mavis must face a monumental decision that could change her life for ever.
