What to expect
After the sudden death of her husband, Patricia Greystone is left with nothing, and at twenty-four, she finds herself a penniless widow. As the youngest child of a large family, she has always been headstrong and proud – so she’s determined not to return to her family cap in hand. Instead she strikes out on her own.
The dark streets of London are the perfect place to hide from the world, and Patricia makes her living singing on the streets. But the city is a dangerous place.
Without her family around her, will Patricia lose her way?
