"This powerful historical novel vividly evokes London in 1842 and
the terrifying plight of 13-year-old Maggie Power and her younger
brother Tom. Fine characterization...and skilled pacing make this a
real page-turner." Publishers Weekly on this 2011 Amazon
Breakthrough Novel Award Semi Finalist. After the death of her
mother and imprisonment of her revolutionary father,
thirteen-year-old Maggie Power is plunged into a world of poverty
and violence. Promising to protect her younger brother - come what
may - she scavenges upon the mudflats of the Thames, haunted by the
constant shadows of hunger and disease. That is, until a chance
encounter with a charitable countess, who rescues her from the
brutal streets of 19th century London. But Maggie's troubles are
just beginning. For the rich life presented to her by the
mysterious countess comes at a dreadful price. A suspenseful,
historical mystery, Dark Remains takes the reader on a journey
through the dark heart of early Victorian London.
