A Stranger's Love

Megan has good reason to hate the prosperous Ackton family, the mill owners whom she holds responsible for her mother's death. However, determined that they will not shorten her life, she runs away. After falling into a canal, she is accused of being a madwoman for attempting suicide, and is sent to the asylum. Megan is rescued from her fate by Mr. Nathan Ackton, and finds that she owes her liberty to a member of the family she loathes.
