But she is even more stunned when she finds herself at the mercy of Magistrate Bedworth, one of the most evil magistrates in the village who sends her to await trial at the workhouse.
There she loses all hope and is almost falling into despair when Jared Lytton a handsome landowner comes to her rescue.

Even though she has been vindicated, She has to leave the village and endure a tough life, struggling to survive as her enemies always seem to catch up to her.
Things only get better when she meets Beulah Thomas the widow, and William her son. She is treated with a lot of kindness working on their farm and when William proposes, she says yes more out of a feeling of gratitude rather than love.
However, Rachel has never forgotten Jared Lytton and they may just cross paths.
