Tillie and her brother, Martin, were orphaned at a young age and left to fend for themselves.
Despite resorting to pickpocketing, the harsh streets of London didn't dampen their spirits, or the true kindness in their hearts. When they act on that kindness, their life changed completely, and a whole new world opened up to them.
That was the end of their problems... or so they thought.
With Tillie now finding her feet in a life of relative privilege, it doesn't take long before there is gossip and bad feelings towards her. And when she is put in a position of trust, under a lot of pressure, there is a presumption from some that she will go back to her old ways.
Tired and overwhelmed with caring for those she loves, Tillie has to make some choices.
Will Tillie's old ways forever be a stumbling block, or will she finally shake off her old life for good?
Genre: Sagas
