In the filth-ridden streets of East End in London, Young Elsie Griggs knows little more than grueling poverty and constant hunger. The bright spot in her life is her loving mama, who means everything to her. When Mama becomes ill, Elsie must get a job to support the family - since her rebellious brother Philip is hardly ever home. But Elsie does so willingly; she’ll do anything for her mother.
But working as a personal maid in Whiston Manor proves a constant challenge for Elsie. Mrs. Whiston is irritable, critical, and hateful to her. The only good thing about the manor is Mrs. Whiston's grandson, the kind and charming Andrew - who is out of bounds to Elsie.
As Elsie's attraction to Andrew grows, she has no way of knowing a series of tragedies are barreling toward her that will rip her entire world apart, setting her on a new path. But will this new path include Andrew? Or will it lead her further away from him and into a world of loneliness and regret?
A gripping listen set in Victorian London with people so desperately poor, they will do anything to survive.

Historia
The streets of Whitechapel are a savage place to grow up, especially during the terrible winter of 1895. Even before she was brought into the world, the odds were stacked against Effie Wilson. Born to two irresponsible, alcoholic parents, Effie is the eldest of five children - none of whom really stand a chance. Matters are made even worse when Effie’s parents disappear one day, never to return. Her only hope could rest in Willie Green, a sweet boy with bright hazel eyes who comes and goes from Effie’s life. If only she knew when he might appear again...

In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means necessary. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.
