1938. Rhiannon is a happy scholarship student at a High School in Cardiff. But when times become hard, she is forced to leave school and work as a nursery and kitchen maid. The war begins and her home, workplace, and all she knows are blown to pieces. As a result, she has to go to work as a maid at a boarding school in the country. Rhiannon is surrounded by schoolgirls, no cleverer than her, learning and playing while she toils from 5am to 10pm. When she borrows a book from the school library, to get her First Class Badge, she is accused of stealing and is told the books `are for young ladies not for the likes of you'. But when a schoolteacher insists on helping her, she gets to study with the Royal Society of Arts and gets the opportunity to join a local Guide Company. But things become tricky when Rhiannon's best friend comes to the school as a pupil. Can pupils and servants be friends, or is the divide between the rich and poor too wide?Will Rhiannon get the chance to prove to those around her that being a maid is just as good and important as being a pupil?Including cover art by Blanka Szonda.
