Maggie is forced to seek a new life away from the East End of London and finds herself a job at a hotel in Yarmouth.
Here she must learn to fend for herself and also accept a shocking discovery that she was fostered as a babe and nothing is known of her real parents.
Her employer, Aunt Beth, is kind and her life improves – but Maggie makes one mistake after another and, eventually, they lead to a terrible tragedy that will bring her to the point of no return.
Will Maggie ever find true happiness and discover the secret of her birth?
