London, England - 1758
Twelve year old Mattie found herself in the back streets of London's slum area when her father was sent to prison for indebtedness. She soon learned that the best way to survive was going through garbage thrown out by pubs that served food. A chance meeting with a young man who was recruiting women to sail to America was a way out of the miserable life she led. However, she had to sign up for seven years as a bond servant. It was frightening not knowing what kind of bond servant she would be. It was only her faith in God and putting her life and future in His hands that enabled her to leave the land of her birth to an unknown future in a new country.
