The slow awakening

"In the middle of the last century the outlook for an orphan could be very grim, so Kirsten MacGregor fell into the mands of Ma Bradley, a baby farmer. In times of stress Kirsten's eye flickered to one side and was regarded by the superstitious fisher folk as an evil eye. On reaching the threshold of woman-hood she was sold to a tinker. Rescued from raging flood waters in a great storm Kirsten gave birth to a child in the stables of a nearby mansion with unforeseen dramatic consequences"--Preliminary pages.

  • "In the middle of the last century the prospects for an orphan or an unwanted child could be grim indeed. Such a child was Kirsten MacGregor, for her parents had died suddenly of a fever while travelling in Northumberland, and there were no relatives or friends to claim her. She fell, therefore, into the hands of Ma Bradley, a baby farmer, who in time used her to tend the younger boys and girls who were the mainstay of a profitable and sinister trade."
