Notes:

Amber Ainsley works for the wealthy Greenwoods. But when Amber falls pregnant with Mr Barnaby Greenwood's illegitimate child, he casts her out, leaving her homeless and without an income. Amber flees to Whitby where she stays with her uncle until her child is born. Upon discovering this, Barnaby offers to find a family to raise Amber's daughter, to save her going to the workhouse. Broken-hearted but wanting the best for her child, Amber hands her daughter over. Meanwhile, Louisa Greenwood is desperate to give her husband Barnaby an heir. The couple are overjoyed when she gives birth to twins, but the babies are weak and the Greenwoods are worried they won't survive. Poverty-stricken, Amber has no choice but to return to work for the Greenwoods. There, the baby girl is flourishing but her twin is not.
