Publisher's Synopsis
What secrets lie behind an abandoned baby on a Manchester doorstep? For fifteen years, Evie Williams never questioned her place in the world-until a single tragic night shatters everything she thought she knew about family, love, and belonging.
When her search for answers leads her from the brutal streets of Manchester to London's glittering mansions, Evie discovers that some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. In a world where every ally could be an enemy and every refuge a trap, she must decide: is uncovering the truth about her past worth risking the person she's become?
One flickering light remains, Evie's childhood friend, Edward Lyons, but even he is gone and hope of his return grows ever more distant.
Set in the shadowy corners of Victorian England, this gripping tale of true love, identity and survival asks the ultimate question: how far would you go to discover who you really are? And can love finally heal a Foundling's Despair?
