Shirley
Cranry Bennett is pushing thirty—unusual for a woman in late 19th century England who's expected to settle down and become a wife. Instead, she's running her own cafe in town. When things get hectic at home, she finally decides she needs to hire a maid. One evening, her first applicant shows up at the door: Shirley Madison, a 13-year-old orphan. Cranry hadn't thought to specify an age requirement on her flyer, so she's hesitant about hiring someone so young. But after talking with Shirley and seeing how mature and driven she is, she decides to take a chance and gives her the job. What follows is a lighthearted, feel-good story about a young girl finding where she belongs and the joy that comes from being accepted and valued by someone who cares.
