God thrusts us toward our destinies in unexpected ways. However, the uncertainty of those unfamiliar circumstances can deepen our trust in Him. For Annie Wood, that thrust came during a trip to America.

That dream ended, when during a trip to America, the upper maids took credit for her embroidery skills and deliberately got her in trouble. Annie had dreamed of becoming a lady’s maid for the Kidds when she left her family to enter service. That betrayal was one of a series of ruthlessness Annie decided to no longer tolerate.
