A CAPTIVATING STORY OF SURVIVAL OVER ADVERSITY, THE RIGHTING OF PAST WRONGS AND THE REDEMPTIVE POWER OF LOVE.
Two sisters separated as children and raised in very different lifestyles – one of privilege, the other squalor.
Can they learn to trust and overcome past grievances and be reunited as a family, or will jealousy and resentment destroy them both? For innocence once betrayed can never be regained.

Beatrice had led a very different life from her sister and has been brought up in poverty and squalor. To survive Beatrice has become a pickpocket and the mistress of the evil Fancy Gilbert linked with the London criminal underworld. When she learns of Kara’s existence and of her pampered childhood, she is embittered and jealous. When Kara unwittingly marries the man Beatrice loves, Beatrice vows that her sister will pay for all the wrongs she has suffered.
