Book
A Loving Family
At eleven, Stella Barry is sent into service after poverty overwhelms her family. When she later returns home, she discovers that her relatives have been evicted and vanished, leaving her with no clear way to learn what became of them.
Seven years later Stella escapes another intolerable situation and resumes her search. Moving through households divided by wealth and power, she tries to reunite the family she remembers while building enough independence to avoid being controlled by those who employ or claim her.
