Synopsis

From the cover: Dwyer-Joyce has recreated the beguiling atmosphere of the British coast and the proud and loyal love of a simple young woman. Hillary carries the memory of her childhood toy - a penny bank in the shape of a brave seaman - through her perilous journey toward a new life as an educated gentlewoman. Her fortunes are at the mercy of an unknown benefactor, but she must face disappointment and danger before her heart returns home.
