But life with her relatives isn3t what Elfina thought it would be, and soon Elfina finds herself far away from home, living in Canada, and kept as a domestic servant by the family. School and an education are now a distant dream. When Elfina3s uncle makes inappropriate advances toward her, she knows she must somehow find the courage to escape and return home. But who will help her?
