Tender Mercies: An Unforgettable Saga of Courage and Justice
Her privilege was a prison. Her ruin was her release.
In the waning days of Victorian London, upper-class Victoria loses everything—her status, her home, and the future she was promised. Cast out from her world of ballrooms and finery, she is thrust into the city's shadowy underbelly—and the stark, dangerous truths she had only ever heard whispered.
But as Victoria learns to survive in this new world of grit and defiance, she uncovers grave injustices that prey upon the very people she now walks among. To fight them, she must turn her knowledge of high society into a weapon, risking the last thing she has left: her freedom.
Inspired by actual historical events, Tender Mercies is a story of fierce resilience, of unbreakable friendships forged, of passionate romance discovered, and one woman's relentless pursuit of liberty and justice.
