Young Kate Browning was beginning to find the strain almost to hard
to bear. With her mother Florrie missing, and her spineless father
no use at all, it fell to Kate to look after the family. But life
in East London at the end of the nineteenth century had never been
easy, and with her cruel half-brother Alex becomingmore and more
difficult, she despaired of ever seeing her beloved mother again.
But her fortunes change when one day, searching for Florrie around
the docks, she meets a friendly face in the form of John Kelly, a
cheeky Irishman who rescues her from a tricky situation. Together
with his grandparents, John reminds her what happiness is like -
and she soon dreams of happiness with him. The dark shadow of Alex
hangs over her still, however, and when he learns of her new
friendship his cruelty slides into madness. Harbouring unnatural
desires for his beautiful half-sister, he will never allow the
Irishman to take her away - but Kate has inherited her mother's
spirit as well as her looks, and vows to forge her own way:
discovering what became of Florrie, and giving herself a deserved
chance for love...
