'I couldn't stop reading this story . . . a real page turner' Sheila Newberry
1860s London
Orphaned at a young age, Rosa has always looked out for her younger sister, Grace, protecting her from the dangers and bullies of the workhouse.
So when Grace is suddenly faced with a world without Rosa, she finds herself alone and forced to make difficult decisions about her future. Can she really walk away from everything she has built to protect the children Rosa has left behind?
Returning to the gang-ruled streets of south-east London, Grace is determined to build a better future for herself and for the children of Bell Lane - no matter what the cost . . .
Trade ReviewThis is indeed an inspiring story of courage in adversity. I have a soft spot for Mary - and Jimmy. . . Also George. Gracie reminded me of my husband's Auntie Clare, a missionary and teacher, who went out to Africa to found a school, and when widowed came back to West Sussex and was headmistress of a village school. I couldn't stop reading this story . . . a real page turner * Sheila Newberry *
