To have both, she must battle against the legacy these two women have left her, the deep prejudices and dangers of Whitechapel in the 1960s - with its gang leaders, rogues, market traders and dolly birds - and the passionate love she has had since girlhood for the charming wideboy and villain, Harry Collins.

A heartbreaking historical novel from the No.1 bestselling author of StolenCharity Stratton's bleak childhood is changed for ever when both her parents are killed in a fire.

Ellie is a sweet-natured brunette, generous of heart with a sparkling smile and an accent which reveals her East End background.
