Publisher's Synopsis
Alex lived a secret life. Her survival on the Norwich streets rests on no one knowing who she really is.
An orphan girl, running with a gang of boys, doing all they can to fight their way from the gutter. It's the only family she now has. Her old life lies in ashes, burned to the ground. No one knows she is a girl, not even Caspar, the gang leader. But such secrets cannot remain hidden forever. When she's discovered, Casper insists she hide away again, this time in the workhouse. He leaves her there with the promise that he will return. But will the young man that Alex has grown to admire leave her forever in the workhouse? Are his words as empty as the eyes of the desperate people she finds within these hopeless walls? It will take all her ingenuity to finally find her way back to the arms of the man she now knows she wants to marry! Join us for a beautifully inspiring historical romance set in the mean Victorian streets of Norwich. Lily Fletcher's debut tale of overcoming love and fearless faith is a journey full of surprises!
