But when she is 25, Daisy’s beloved adoptive mother dies and leaves behind a scrapbook of memories, giving Daisy long-hidden information about who she is and where she came from. Her real mother was a teenager called Ellen, a farmer’s daughter from Cornwall, and Daisy sets out to find out more and track her down.
