Finding May

THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SEASONS OF CHANGE COLLECTION FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Before she can step into her future, she must leave her past behind . . .

London, 1850

Young May Forrester grew up in the slum tenements of London with no family other than her drunken mother to call her own. When her mother decides she can't look after her anymore, May is taken in by Bess as domestic help at the local brothel. Despite being abandoned by the one person who should love her the most, May finds a happy life there through a kind and nurturing boss and a close group of friends.

As May grows older, Bess takes her under her wing and tells her she is destined for better things. Although confused by her preferential treatment, May jumps at the chance to attend Miss Wren's finishing school for young ladies. Life is looking up for May and romance might even be on the horizon. But with secrets about herself and her family lurking beneath the surface, and an enemy threatening to expose her lies, will May ever really be able to find a place in higher society, or will everything she's wished for slip from her grasp?
