"Clara held onto the precious button, glimmering like a
jewel in the dark alleyways of London's notorious Seven
Dials. She needed to save her family. but who was going to
save her? There was a time when the Carter sisters' father
was their hero. Now he's a drunk who's gambled away
everything they had and put them all in peril. It's on
Clara's shoulders to save the 4 sisters from destitution.
Clutching her precious button box, the only thing of value
they have left, Clara dreams of starting a shop that could
put a roof over their heads and keep them safe. But in
debt to the terrifying Patches Braggs, leader of one of
the East End's roughest gangs, Clara is in fear for her
life. When a mysterious benefactor seems to offer an
escape, Clara realises too late that it comes at a
terrible price"--Publisher's description.
