The Match Factory Girls

In the shadows of 1887 London one woman must fight for her future - and her child's. When Amelia Spencer finds herself unmarried pregnant and cast out by society she flees to the Bryant & May match factory searching for her estranged sister Sadie. But the East End is no refuge - Sadie is trapped in a violent marriage and the factory is as dangerous as the streets outside. Desperate for a fresh start Amelia takes work at Bryant & May and dares to dream of a better life for herself and her son. A chance meeting with the kind-hearted Nicholas Dupree offers hope - but Whitechapel is no place for fragile dreams. When the shadows of Amelia’s past return with a vengeance - and a killer begins stalking the women of Whitechapel - Amelia must fight to protect her child and the life she’s struggled to claim before everything she’s fought for is destroyed.
