About this audiobook
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 four 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 realizes too late that it comes at a terrible price…
Cheated, abandoned and alone – can Clara save her family and hold onto her dreams?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful read! I love books that follow one strong female character with interesting chapters from beginning to end. Just the right mixture of adventure, mystery, history, and romance (not lurid sex or the overly gushy, silly Harlequin type). No dull spots either. I look forward to reading Dilly Court's other novels. Once I find a good author, I love to read everything they've written!
Also, I enjoyed the reading performer of this audio book as she read life into all the characters. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good read, but all the various plot turns get to be too much. The plot is fun, but not very believable.
