Query: Most depressing book I have ever read

This book begins with a beautiful main character, Lilly, who is shoved back three steps for every one she takes forward. In the beginning of the book, Lilly is about fourteen and has three years left before she can become a teacher. She has an evil, sharp-tongued stepmother and a loving, but harsh, father. When the father's pay is reduced, the parents tell Lilly that she cannot go back to school and will be sent to the home of a couple known by them to become a general maid. The poor child is expected to send a portion of her earnings back home. Maybe I just like happily-ever-after books but there is very little happiness in this book. In fact, it starts off on a sad note and gets progressively worse all the way to the end.
