A beloved classic by the Sunday Times, multi-million copy bestselling author
Charity Stratton is just fifteen when her world shatters. After losing her parents in a terrible fire, she’s separated from her beloved siblings and forced into servitude.
Her life as a boarding school kitchen maid is backbreaking and lonely. And her brief moments of joy with a dashing student end in heartbreak when she becomes pregnant.
But Charity’s spirit refuses to be broken. Escaping to London, she finds a city teeming with both opportunity and peril. Will Charity's resilience be enough to overcome the odds, reunite her family and build a better life for them all?
