Millie loved walking on the Cobb. The harbour arm stretched out protectively, half encircling the Dorset port of Lyme Regis. Built originally as a giant breakwater against the storms of the south west.
Young Millie seeks to better herself. Turning away from harbour work, she is overjoyed to secure a position as seamstress and milliner, drawing on her natural flair and skills. The influence of her benefactors brings her closer to a world she is drawn to, and her secret, brief but naive liaison with the squire's charming son Gerard, has far reaching consequences.
