Book Description
The Sanford family are dogged by misfortune. Callista Sanford's father was well educated but ended up working in a steel foundry, before mysteriously taking his own life. Callista is left struggling to support herself and her ailing mother. Regular employment eludes her, and her pride will not let her accept charity. Instead she is reluctantly betrothed to the boorish rent collector, Oswin Slade, who seeks to advance himself by defrauding and then blackmailing his employer, the sinister Mrs Derry. But she is more than a match for him, as he finds out to his cost. Everything starts to change for Callista when she meets kindly Daniel and Abigail Roberts, who have known tragedy too. They offer her employment and a home and, under their tuition, she discovers an artistic flair she didn't know she had. But a happy ending is not certain because an unseen enemy lurks in the shadows, determined to see the demise of the pauper's child.

Book Description
The history of early America cannot be told without considering unfree labor. At the center of this history are African and Native American adults forced into slavery; the children born to these unfree persons usually inherited their parents' status. Immigrant indentured servants, many of whom were young people, are widely recognized as part of early American society. Less familiar is the idea of free children being taken from the homes where they were born and put into bondage. As Children Bound to Labor makes clear, pauper apprenticeship was an important source of labor in early America. The economic, social, and political development of the colonies and then the states cannot be told properly without taking them into account. Binding out pauper apprentices was a widespread practice throughout the colonies from Massachusetts to South Carolina-poor, illegitimate, orphaned, abandoned, or abused children were raised to adulthood in a legal condition of indentured servitude. Most of these children were without resources and often without advocates. Local officials undertook the responsibility for putting such children in family situations where the child was expected to work, while the master provided education and basic living needs. The authors of Children Bound to Labor show the various ways in which pauper apprentices were important to the economic, social, and political structure of early America, and how the practice shaped such key relations as master-servant, parent-child, and family-state in the young republic. In considering the practice in English, Dutch, and French communities in North America from the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, Children Bound to Labor even suggests that this widespread practice was notable as a positive means of maintaining social stability and encouraging economic development.
