At the turn of the twentieth century, Eloise Cribb is left without income when her seafaring husband is reported lost. Responsible for her children, she leaves London for Yorkshire in the hope that his relatives will provide help, but finds suspicion and hostility instead of welcome.

As her resources disappear, Eloise faces the workhouse and the possibility that her children will be separated from her. Her struggle takes her between northern England and London’s charitable institutions as she searches for security and refuses to surrender the family she has fought to protect.
