Laura is born into filth and squalor in Saffron Hill, a notorious rookery full of thieves and criminal gangs. She is subjected to horrific abuse from her parents until, one day, she is 'rescued' by the wealthy and seemingly kind Mr Freeman.
She soon realises that she has swapped one dark prison of abuse for another, and is trapped in a nightmare of loneliness and crippling depression, until she meets Richard Lawrence, and the two start an affair together.
Pregnant and deeply in-love with him, the pair run away together, but her happiness is cut short and she finds herself, once again, in the dark abyss of Mr Freeman's abuse, where one tragedy follows another.
She eventually meets a young solicitor, John Stevens, and has to find the courage to love again, and emerge out of the darkness and into a life of bright sunshine and content.
