Men den stædige og selvstændige pige taber til sidst modet og er selvmordet nær, da hun reddes af en pige, hun engang har søgt at beskytte mod en hård arbejdsgiver, og kommer i huset hos en kvækerfamilie, som består af en gammel mor og hendes søn.Romanen - som er blevet kaldt "Pigebørn for voksne", udspiller sig i en periode på omkring 20 år fra 1850-1870.
