An Honest Coward

Gabriel Morbey never set out to be anything great. He was nothing more than a man fighting for his convictions, for the sake of a town that loved him, and for the daughter he brought into the world by accident. Deemed a local hero, Morbey never saw himself as anything more than a kindly neighbor, a gentle smile amongst the English slums. When his efforts to better the lives of his neighbors go awry, Gabriel, his brother, and his daughter are forced to leave and are abandoned by the people they considered allies. Now on their own, Gabriel tries to keep his daughter alive and well on their travels, and he tries to do it honestly, but a man who makes an honest living is hard to come by in a world where people are rarely honest at all.
