The Brave Mill Girl
Rachel White
After her mother dies of tuberculosis, Annabelle Walker is told by her stepfather that he has arranged work for her as a maid.
When Annabelle arrives at Rosewood House in Huddersfield, there is no job. It is just her stepfather’s ploy to chase her out of the house. Homeless and nowhere to go, Annabelle ends up at Upper End Mill.
Young and inexperienced, Annabelle is given one month to prove her worth at the mill.
Simeon Carter, owner of the mill, is intrigued by Annabelle’s passion to improve the working conditions in the mill.
The hardworking and outspoken Annabelle finds herself fighting for the welfare of other mill workers – and fighting against the lecherous overseer of the factory, Nicholas.
When Annabelle rejects the advances from Nicholas and implements a new workflow in the mill, things quickly plunged to a matter of life and death.
In the thick of danger, Simeon suddenly realises the intrigue he has for Annabelle has turned into something else…
How will Annabelle rise above this precarious situation? Or will the destitute girl find happiness from a man so intrigued with her?
