Imagine having the knowledge of other places in the world, the ambition to explore them, but no means to fulfill those desires. Under the moon lies a diverse and colorful world. Elissa Johnson knows that. It is 1871. Elissa is a daughter of a maid in the wealthy Charrington household. She sneaks books from the Charringtons' library and reads stories that invite her to distant places. Elissa exists as a servant behind the gates of Charrington manor. She aspires to travel, but Mrs. Charrington insists Elissa will never be more than a maid in their small town. Elissa's mother urges Elissa to accept her destiny. Elissa witnesses the opportunities her peer, Meloney Charrington, possesses. Because of Elissa's low servant status, hope for a better life seems futile. Her ambition seems to be a curse. One day, as Elissa sits in her room crying, a gentleman named Paul appears and introduces himself. He takes her traveling to many places Elissa has read about, and brings her home before her absence is noticed. When Paul stops visiting, the young maid must ask herself if she is insane.

London, 1876. Hetty Feather is a tiny, fiery-haired baby when her mother leaves her on the steps of the Foundling Hospital.

But Hetty's happiness is threatened when she must return to the Foundling Hospital to begin her education. The cruel matrons' strict regime is a terrible struggle for Hetty, and she desperately misses her beloved foster brother, Jem. But now she has the chance to find her real mother. Could she really be Madame Adeline? Or will the truth be even more surprising? An original, compelling and utterly fascinating tale from one of the most beloved writers of our time, and now a major CBBC series.

Public Inquiries into Abuse of Children in Residential Care

Increase in public concern about the abuse of children in residential homes has led to a proliferation of inquiries and large-scale criminal investigations throughout the 1990s and into the new millennium. The authors examine the background and context to these developmentals in detail. A focal point of the book is an in-depth analysis of the North Wales Tribunal (to which the authors were given extended access) - the events that led up to it, the process it followed and the recommendations that it made. The authors set out their own recommendations for future public inquiries into residential abuse. Public Inquiries into Abuse of Children in Residential Care contains a wealth of material derived from public inquiries that provides a key knowledge base for practitioners and those responsible for the provision of residential care for children. It also highlights some major issues in relation to monitoring and inquiring into matters of national concern which are also of major importance to public policy students and practitioners.
