Little Rosie Pearson is left to fend for herself when her beloved grandmother is hounded to death on suspicion of being a witch. Shocked at Rosie's uncaring treatment by the authorities, Eugenia Pacemore, a soldier's daughter, takes her in and wishes to adopt her. But her hopes are dashed when Rosie's drunkard father returns to claim her. From then on, Rosie's life is one of hardship and abuse, until she finds love - of sorts - with a young private in the British Cavalry. As a soldier's wife, she will be expected to follow the Regiment to the Crimea, where her sunny personality and resilience - born of her terrible childhood experiences - will stand her in good stead when faced with the horror of that dreadful war.
