The unforgettable story of a mother’s struggle to find the courage to save her children from cruelty and unhappiness. When Ellen Grier’s husband loses his job, she has little choice but to agree to his suggestion that they and their children move in with his parents on Vinegar Hill. Their new home is more stifling than she feared—a loveless place where dark secrets lurk behind a facade of false piety, and calculated cruelty is routine. Ellen’s spirit is close to crushed: how is she to protect her children from their grandparents’ bitterness and disapproval? Will her love for little Amy and Bert give her the strength to find a way for them to escape?
