After a harrowing attack left her pregnant, she hastily married a fellow boatman, hoping to provide a stable life for her unborn child. However, her mundane existence was soon interrupted by the arrival of Anthony Wesley, a charismatic man with a mission to organize the impoverished boatmen for strike action.

Beth was immediately drawn to Anthony's cause, feeling valued and appreciated for the first time in her life. She threw herself into the movement, eager to help in any way she could.
