A baby girl, just a few months old, is discovered wrapped up in a shawl on a wooden bench at Itchy Park, Spitalfields. It's a frosty December evening just before the Christmas of 1861. The infant is rescued by a lady called Bessie Harper, who has her own pie making business. Bessie names the young child, Lucy, and in later years, deceives the child by telling her that her mother died years ago, not to upset her with the revelation she'd been left to the elements. Bessie has no idea who the child's mother really is but clutched tightly in the baby's hand, she discovers a silver locket which has the name 'Adella' inscribed on it and a lock of hair inside. Bessie vows one day she'll help the child find her mother and tell her the truth regarding the circumstances of how she found her. Bessie's husband, however, becomes jealous and mean to the child, so as soon as she's old enough, he encourages his wife to send her out to work.
