Hanna and Bertram
Hanna grew up in a Foundling hospital, where she was bullied and beaten most of her life. Bertram comes from wealth. Bertram literally knocked Hanna off her feet where she had become a servant in his household, and both fell for each other. I highly recommend this book.

BEAUTIFUL STORYLINE!
What an AMAZING STORY of days to riches of Cinderella if you wish! Hanna was a good person and had a GREAT work ethic and she had more heart than anyone! I'm looking forward to other stories like this!

Sweet
This is a great rainy day read. I have never been one for class separations and I feel sorry for people who hold to this principle. They will never know what they may have missed.
