The latest novel by this Sunday Times bestselling author leads readers into the heart of 1875 London, where we meet Nettie Carroll, a young woman forced to mature quickly due to the blunders of her father. As she prepares to leave her cramped attic room in Covent Garden, Nettie acknowledges that escape is essential for survival. Her days are consumed by sewing, striving to provide the bare necessities, while her father repeatedly falls prey to deceit. His most recent misstep leaves them with nothing but the clothes they wear, and he pins their hopes on a new beginning across the English Channel in France. Despite the upheaval, Nettie clings to her dreams, determined not to lose them entirely. Yet, danger is never far, as adversaries persistently close in on them. However, Nettie harbors a secret—one that just might hold the key to their salvation. Her journey is one of self-discovery and courage, as she must decide whether to embrace her inner strength and forge a path to a more promising future.
