A home child story with a twist! Julie Band takes a refreshing and different approach to a home child's plight, telling of her precipitous fall in social and economic standing in Victorian England. It highlights that not every home child was born of humble beginnings as a waif and stray. Interesting; well written and well worth the read. A wonderful precursor to her follow up book!

I liked the spunk of the main character, ...I also liked how the plot developed, slowly at first and then becoming a real page turner.
