The author of the USA Today and New York Times bestselling novel
The Girl Who Came Home has once again created an unforgettable
historical novel. Step into the world of Victorian London, where
the wealth and poverty exist side by side. This is the story of two
long-lost sisters, whose lives take different paths, and the young
woman who will be transformed by their experiences. In 1912,
twenty-year-old Tilly Harper leaves the peace and beauty of her
native Lake District for London, to become assistant housemother at
Mr. Shaw's Home for Watercress and Flower Girls. For years, the
home has cared for London's flower girls-orphaned and crippled
children living on the grimy streets and selling posies of violets
and watercress to survive. Soon after she arrives, Tilly discovers
a diary written by an orphan named Florrie-a young Irish flower
girl who died of a broken heart after she and her sister, Rosie,
were separated. Moved by Florrie's pain and all she endured in her
brief life, Tilly sets out to discover what happened to Rosie. But
the search will not be easy. Full of twists and surprises, it leads
the caring and determined young woman into unexpected places,
including the depths of her own heart.
