Under
the watchful eye of her overbearing father, Dorothy takes care of the
practical side of running a parish, from organising church fêtes,
visiting parishioners, and managing the finances - even as her father
risks everything in his search for the right investment.
One day
she awakes to find herself thrust onto the perilous streets of London
with no money and no memory. With only her own wits to help her, she
must find a way to make a living, braving hunger, scandal, and a cast of
unscrupulous and unforgiving characters.
A Clergyman's Daughter
is an eloquent and moving portrayal of the human costs of the Great
Depression and demonstrates how coming face-to-face with a different
world can make you question everything you once
believed in.
