Three children must fend for themselves in Victorian London. But there might be a way out . . . A classic family saga from the author of Palace of Tears. When fifteen-year-old Maggie, her sister Liz and young brother Charlie find themselves tragically orphaned, they know their young lives can never be the same again. And when Liz is taken ill, Maggie has to tend to her, and loses what little work she had. In desperation, she ventures onto the streets, risking her safety and her innocence. A mysterious stranger appears to offer hope, but does he have only her best interests at heart? Will tragedy strike again or can Maggie save the family from poverty, and find the happiness she truly deserves? Set in London’s Bethnal Green shortly after the Ripper murders, A Handful of Sovereigns is perfect for fans of Jennie Felton, Maggie Ford or Dilly Court.
