English Summary/英文概要： Ireland, 1901: The workhouse gates clanged shut behind us, as me and the mammy walked down the hill towards the town. I was six years old and leaving the only home I had ever known…
When Cissy Ryan’s real mother comes to claim her from the workhouse, it’s not how she imagined. Her family’s tumbledown cottage has ice on the inside of its windows and is in an isolated, poverty-stricken village in the muddy Irish countryside. But when Cissy is allowed to help neighbour Colm Doyle and his horse named Blue on their milk round one morning, Cissy starts to feel as though friendship could get her through anything.
It’s Colm who looks in on Cissy’s grandfather when she starts at the village school, and Colm who tells her to hold her chin high when she interviews for a position at the grand Bretton House. But in the vast mansion with its shining floors and sweeping staircase, it’s Master Peter Bretton who captures Cissy’s heart with his dark curls and easy laugh.
As Cissy blossoms from a skinny orphan into a confident young girl, Colm tells her she’s as good as anyone and she begins to believe anything is possible. But not everyone with a kind smile has a kind heart, and Cissy doesn’t know that further sorrow lies in store for her.
When Cissy finds herself desperate, alone, and faced with a devastating choice, can she find the strength to survive?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 爱尔兰，1901年：济贫院的门在我们身后哐啷一声关上了，我和姆妈从山上往镇上走去。那时我六岁，离开了我所知道的唯一的家……
当西茜•瑞恩的亲生母亲来济贫院认领她的时候，情况并不是她想象的那样。她家那栋摇摇欲坠的小屋窗户上结着冰，坐落在爱尔兰泥泞乡村的一个偏僻贫困的村庄里。但是，有一天早上，当西茜被允许帮助邻居科尔姆•多伊尔和他那匹名叫布鲁的马喝牛奶时，西茜开始觉得友谊可以帮助她度过任何难关。
当西茜在乡村学校上学时，科尔姆去看望了她的祖父，当她在大布雷顿庄园面试一个职位时，科尔姆告诉她要昂首挺胸。但是在有着光亮的地板和宽敞的楼梯的豪宅里，彼得•布雷顿大师用他乌黑的卷发和轻松的笑声抓住了西茜的心。
西茜从一位瘦骨嶙峋的孤儿蜕变成一位自信的年轻姑娘，科尔姆认为她非常优秀，她也开始相信没什么事情是做不到的。但是并不是每个慈眉善目的人都有一颗善良的心，西茜还不知道更深的痛苦正埋藏在深处。
当西茜发现自己绝望、孤独，面临极为痛苦的选择时，她还能找到存活下来的力量吗？(XMM)
