The international number one bestselling author tells the story of a strong
woman trying to be good in a world gone bad, taking us from London to New
Orleans and beyond in this powerful, moving historical novel.
She witnessed a murder - and now her life is in danger . . .
Fifteen year-old Belle, though raised in a London brothel, is an innocent. But
when she witnesses one of the girls brutally strangled by a client, she is cast
into a cruel, heartless world.
Snatched from the streets and sold into prostitution, she is made a courtesan in
New Orleans. At the mercy of desperate men who crave her beauty and will do
anything to keep her, Belle's dreams of home, family and freedom appear futile.
Are Belle's courage and spirit strong enough to help her escape? And what will
await her at the end of the long, dangerous journey home?
