From Goodreads:
Seduced by crime, troubled by conscience, Cora Parry creates a double life as she is drawn deep into Victorian London's seething underworld.
A book aimed and young people about life in Victorian times. Young Cora was adopted from a workhouse by a nice man Elijah,and has a relatively normal life. Cora's new mother doesn't like Cora but Elijah loves her and they have a great relationship. Elijah dies and Cora's life at home is not great but 6 years later so does Martha. Cora thinks life with be better, with a house in the country and she will make it work. Unfortunately it doesn't go to plan and Cora finds herself in the city, outside the workhouse but refusing to go to the life she escaped. She then comes up with the name Carrie and the story begins.
It was a good little read but could have been better. Some slightly unrealistic moments but think it would work for the target audience.
