About this audiobook
London, 1905. In the narrow, soot-stained alleys of the Spittlefield slums, a mother and young daughter fight to maintain their dignity amid unimaginable hardship.
Born to street hawkers and raised among the poorest of the poor, Ellie has known loss all her life—siblings taken by illness, a father gone too soon, and a mother worn thin by endless struggle. Together they survive in the shadow of the workhouse, pressing tattered clothes and mending what little they can, determined not to let poverty steal their pride.
Years later, when the chance to start anew finally arrives, Ellie boards a ship bound for America—not as a victim of circumstance, but as a woman forged by it.
Rich with historical detail and heartbreaking beauty, Perseverance - Eleanor’s Story is an unforgettable tale of endurance, love, and the quiet strength of those who history forgot.
