It is 1919. A child is found locked in a trunk on a cargo ship in Southampton. A dead woman clutches a letter beside it. A newborn infant is missing. The child with no name is sent to an orphanage asylum. Driven by shadowy memories, the young girl battles against outrageous injustice and societal iniquity. Embroiled with a family fractured by the corrupting decadence of dark secrets and wealth, she is driven to weather the storms of unimaginable consequences. Karma is a dish best served cold and this woman is glacial.
Becoming Maverick – the journey of a woman who learns to twist the knife of fate. But this isn’t the end. Her story is just beginning… with a secret that no-one can know.
