Tilly True - Tapa dura

'I aint always going to be poor, I made my mind up to that.' Dismissed from her position as housemaid under a cloud of misunderstanding, Tilly True is forced to return home. But, Tilly is determined to make something of her life and, rather than admit the truth to her poverty-stricken family, she sets out once more in search of employment. Her journey takes her to the London law courts, a grim parsonage in one of the most notorious parts of the East End and a house of ill-repute. But, when she falls for the dangerous charms of Barnaby Palgrave, Tilly soon finds that her troubles have only just begun...
