Adelle's life is in turmoil! With her father dead and her sickly mother barely making ends meet as a Free school teacher, 13-year-old Adelle has to help however she can. Forced to assume their father's gambling debts, the small family struggles to survive for four years of quiet desperation.

Then her mother dies.

Adelle is left to look after her younger brother on a wage not nearly enough to survive. They are one step away from the dreaded workhouse.

Things brighten when Otto Darrington, a former client of hers, comes back into her life during a chance encounter. He is compassionate and Adelle finds herself falling for his charm.

But Otto has his own problems; namely his overbearing father who is determined to have his son serve as a merchant seaman. Otto's banishment is certain when his father learns of his unsavory relationship with a poorly seamstress. How dare he besmirch the family name!

What is to become of Adelle? How can Otto care for Adelle from abroad? Will Otto's uncertain future allow them time to grow their fledgling love for one another?

"The Orphan's Plight" and all Catharine Dobbs' novellas are wholesome Victorian Romances.
