Olivia is an orphan, abandoned at birth.
To survive she endures a meager existence toiling for the unpleasant Mr. and Mrs. Dounce at Craddocks' Correction House. All she has ever known is hardship and despair.
In desperation, Olivia runs away to freedom on the brutal streets of London.
New acquaintances lead her down a questionable path filled with risk taking and crimes of opportunity. Her life changes one day when she comes face to face with her future.
Will Olivia find happiness for herself, or will the circumstances of her youth continue to hold her back?
When she meets Arthur Evenson, a dreamer who longs for adventure, she knows he is that special someone. But will society ever accept her as more than a mere orphan, her past a grim weight to bear as she longs for a better future ...
Olivia - The Runaway and all Catharine Dobbs' novellas are wholesome Victorian Romances.
