An orphaned child faces hardship, but won't give up until happiness is in her grasp...

Life isn't easy for widowed George Vannin and his young daughter, but somehow George has raised the child alone and Ellan adores her father. Ellan is ten years old when the shaft at Foxdale Mine collapses, and her father never comes up. From then on she lives with Aunt Maud, a dour woman with a quick temper. Her husband had died in a mining accident too, and she never forgave the family at the Big House for their part in the tragedy.

Ellan's chance is yet to come, but she has a long way to go before she finds the happiness she deserves... What readers are saying about Ellan Vannin : ' What a lovely story!
