Description: The Thames carried him away from her, but would it bring him home...? Twelve-year-old Eliza Braggs has known little in life but the cold, comfortless banks of the Thames. Living above her uncle's chandlery, she has grown accustomed to a life of penury and servitude, her only comfort - the love and protection of her older brother, Bart. But, one day, Bart accidentally kills a man and is forced to flee to New Zealand. Alone, barefoot, beaten down and at the mercy of her cruel uncle, Eliza realises that her very survival is at stake...
