But tragedy and despair is never far away. Ignoring other people's taunts, Mary faces danger to bring back valuable treasures to help feed her family. Growing up poor but proud on the windswept Dorset coast, Mary follows after her father, hunting for fossils uncovered by waves and landslips: ancient creatures, turned to stone. From that moment on, a spark is lit within her. The only survivor is a baby - Mary Anning. One stormy night, a group of villagers are struck by lightning. Ordinary is what most people are and I am not.
