The story centers around young Valerie, a girl who faces the harsh realities of life after the death of her mother, struggling as an orphan in a small village. The opening chapters highlight her tragic circumstances, her isolated existence, and the indifference of the villagers towards her plight. The beginning of the novel introduces Valerie and her mother as they move to the village of Osterhagen, only to grapple with poverty and social isolation. After her mother's death, Valerie is left to fend for herself, experiencing neglect and mistreatment from the locals, especially as she struggles to maintain a semblance of her previous life. Her attempts to integrate into society are met with disdain, and despite her resilience, she becomes increasingly marginalized, culminating in her becoming a ward of the community, which is far from a safe haven. The narrative conveys a sense of despair and struggle, setting the tone for Valerie's journey through hardship and abandonment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
