When Patricia’s husband dies suddenly, she is left with nothing. At twenty-four she finds herself a penniless widow with nowhere to turn. Determined not to rely on her family’s generosity or to return to her childhood home, Rockwood Castle, Patricia decides to strike out on her own.
Inspired by her mother’s career as an opera singer, Patricia secures a minor part in a theatre show in London. But her wages are low, and she finds herself far from the luxurious life she once led. To support herself, she starts singing in a local public house and on the streets. There she learns about London’s poor, and tries her best to help them.
But a dangerous figure from her family’s past is lurking in the shadows, and before long she finds herself fleeing London.
Without her family around her, will Patricia lose her way?
