1815. Life is hard for Fannie, working at the factory with only sweet memories of her 'gentleman' and daughter to sustain her. But when she is revealed to be an unmarried mother and dismissed, she is forced to take greater and greater risks to provide for her child. A story of desperation, but also of love and the soaring power of hope. A haunting reimagining of Les Misérables' Fantine.
