Kitty — Mary Ann Gibbs

A LOVE CHILD BECOMES A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN. BEFRIENDED BY THE RICH BUT NEVER ONE OF THEM. NOW HER PRIDE WOULD BE HER UNDOING.

When Kitty Ralston discovered that her late father was not only alive but, in fact, had never marred her mother, she changed dramatically.

Gone forever was the little sugar mouse who had spent idyllic summer days at White Cliff Bay with her brother and her dear friend, Sid Burke. The school for elegant young ladies she'd been lucky enough to attend was only a memory. As were her very rich friends the Winters: the self-centered Meg who had stolen Sid's heart, and Meg's serious brother, Bob, who hoped that Kitty would steal his.

All that was behind her now. Ahead was a future filled with fear and hunger and deprivation. But a spark of determination filled Kitty with hope. Her brother, at least, would have his chance at life. Even if Kitty had to sacrifice herself.

Hero: Sid Burke
