"The White Dress" - Victorian Romance Presents a Mystery for the Ages

CUMBRIA, U.K. - Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- A kidnapped baby, misplaced love, desperate choices, and fate all seal the future of a girl named Nellie.

In 1886, a young peasant girl and prostitute named Clara steals a baby from a rich family in the hope that the man she lives with will believe the baby his and marry her. He doesn’t believe her and leaves. Stuck with the stolen child she names Nellie, Clara has two more children with other men and becomes a drunk. One day while Nellie is out looking for food, the police arrest Clara and her “siblings” are taken to the workhouse.

Nellie runs away and settles in Ulverston, where she eats what she can forage and steals when she must. She meets a rich boy named Charles Nicholson, who left home to become a sailor. Nellie finds employment with a farmer who tries to assault her. The man is injured on the pitchfork she uses to defend herself and Nellie runs away. The farmer finds her, beats her badly, and leaves her for dead. Charles and his father find Nellie and get her help.

Nellie becomes a kitchen maid in the Warburton household, only to discover that she is the lost baby kidnapped from the Nicholson family so many years before. Could it be that Charles, the man she has come to love, is really her brother?

“This novel covers some intriguing issues of the Victorian era that could represent impossible choices for the characters. We are thrilled to announce its release,” said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
