Elizabeth Green was born in a pretty bad way, but both the new-born Eli and her exhausted mother - a spinner in the cotton mill were fighters, tough and determined not to let the world knock them down.

They needed to be tough, for when Eli's father was killed in the war, Mary married again. And Jesse Gray - once he'd courted and won Mary Green - turned into a nightmare of a man, terrorizing the young girl with one secret evil after another. 

With Martin, Jason, Richard and other friends, Eli grew into a beautiful young woman, desperately fighting the legacy of her childhood.
