Silas Marner was a man who had everything - until he lost it all. Falsely accused of theft and driven out of his town, Silas starts life anew, seeking solace in hard work, solitude and his increasing hoard of gold. When he is robbed of his entire savings by the wayward son of the local squire, it seems he has lost everything for a second time. Then, one day, upon arriving home, he discovers a foundling child asleep on the hearth. Could this young girl be the redemption to love and happiness that Silas has been looking for? Or is he just risking even more loss and heartbreak?
