In the City of London in 1887, Charity Crosse survives on the streets and is treated as a criminal simply because she is poor. A chance connection with a bookshop offers the possibility of work, education and a life not governed by begging or casual violence.
Charity’s new prospects are threatened by people who profit from her vulnerability and by secrets that follow her into respectable surroundings. She must learn to defend herself without losing the generosity that first allowed her to imagine a different future.
