"Sixteen-year-old Repentance Atwater hates living in the breeder village. She hates the foggy swamp, she hates that the other villagers think she's cursed because of her light complexion, and, most of all, she hates the thought of "buttoning" with Sober Marsh and breeding little slave babies for the overlords. But the law is clear: Anyone who refuses to button and breed is taken away and sold as a slave on the overlord mountain. Repentance won't be taken alone, either. Sober Marsh, her intended button mate, will be ripped away from his family and sold, as well. Before the night of her Button Ceremony is over, Repentance has devastated her family and ruined Sober's life. But worse things are coming on the overlord mountain. Repentance's stubborn idealism and unruly tongue enrage the king, and she winds up endangering her entire village."--Back cover.

Featuring “a typical Betty Burton heroine . . . Strong, independent,” this historical saga chronicles a woman’s rise from her impoverished circumstances (Dorset Echo). A heart-wrenching and powerful coming of age story set in the early twentieth century. Lu Wilmott grows up in the Portsmouth slums of the 1920s. Stricken by diphtheria, she is sent to the Hampshire countryside where she discovers a robust fighting spirit and the first stirrings of attraction . . . But then she must follow her mother into the city’s grim corset-making trade. Lu realizes that things must change. And she can make it happen. Her journey from shy child to energetic woman encompasses love, deep friendship, and a growing political awareness. Above all, Lu is a survivor—and one to be reckoned with. “It is encouraging when someone like Betty Burton manages against the odds to become a roaring success.” —The Guardian
