Don't know if anyone can help me here, but I'm looking for something I read a long time ago.

It's set in America and is about a young girl who goes to work in a mill somewhere close to the Potomac. She is seduced by the mill owner and becomes pregnant. Her baby is subsequently adopted and she carries on with her single life.

Then, when she's in her thirties, she grows close to a young stranger and ends up having an affair with him, only to find out that he's her long-lost son.

The only other detail I can remember is that whilst she and her son are becoming closer, she has some sort of accident and burns or scalds her foot, and he takes care of her.

Anyone know?
