[Read by Nicola Barber] 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 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.
