Publisher's Synopsis
"Whatever happens to you, my darling child, let it be known that I love you, and will always love you with all my heart," she whispered, laying the baby on the steps of the college...
No one knows the baby's true identity. Who left her there and what became of them?
Right from a young age, Peggy always was inquisitive.
As she grows up, Peggy-who knows no other name-asks questions, wondering where she came from and what her future holds.
Peggy has a unique gift, a talent that sets her apart from everyone else. She faces unexpected obstacles.
In the rarefied atmosphere of an Oxford college in 1858, a woman has little hope of succeeding. Or so she is told.
Can Peggy's life change for the better after she meets David Wickfield, a handsome Oxford scholar? Together they discover more about her true talents as their fondness for each other deepens.
"The Abandoned Prodigy" and all Catharine Dobbs' novellas are wholesome Victorian Romances.
