Description:In the middle of the last century the prospects for an orphan or an unwanted child could be grim indeed. Such a child was Kirsten MacGregor, for her parents had died suddenly of a fever while traveling in Northumberland, and there were no relatives or friends to claim her.She fell, therefore, into the hands of Ma Bradley, a baby farmer, who in time used her to tend the younger boys and girls who were the mainstay of a profitable and sinister trade. In this service she grew to womanhood, her good looks marred by a cast in one eye. Though this was so slight as to be noticeably only in times of tension or fear, it was to force upon Kirsten a still meaner fate: for the superstitious fishermen of the area regarded it as a cause of bad luck, and in time their prejudices reached so high a pitch that she had to be got rid of. She was made over to Hop Fuller, a traveling tinker and a hard, even vicious master.But then a great storm and flood changed everything.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
